But the dogs amassing the fans – and the hits – are working dogs being put through their paces by Winnipeg Police Service in Canada as they become K9 officers.

There are now five episodes of The Making of a K9 to binge watch and from that opening sequence, you know you’re going to be in for a treat.

It includes a check of the hand-sized puppies for “boo-boos”.

In video three, the dogs are separated for the first time and go through their initial tests.

Meanwhile, police officers are seen at puppy school learning about the selection process and three cops get matched with their puppies.

A welcome sight for travellers as much as everyone tuned in back home.

Winnipeg Police Service are the only police force in Canada with their own breeding programme.

They have had more than 100 K9 officers since they first started using dogs to help with their work.
