A Ukrainian army service dog given slim chances of survival after being injured in a rocket attack is embarking on a new career with police in neighbouring Hungary.

Shrapnel ravaged the right side of three-year-old German shepherd Rambo’s head while he accompanied Ukrainian soldiers on the front line of the war in Kharkiv province last year.
