One of the country's top police dogs earns more in a day than her force's chief constable.
Keela, a 16-month-old springer spaniel, can sniff out the smallest samples of human blood - even after items have been cleaned or washed many times.
The South Yorkshire Police dog has already helped forces across the country and is hired out at £530 per day, plus expenses.
If she worked every day, she would earn almost £200,000 - £70,000 more than the top cop.
Her handler, Pc Martin Grime, and National Search Adviser Mark Harrison have trained Keela.
