One of the ‘Name the RCMP Puppies’ winners is from Cape Breton

Every March, the RCMP host a contest asking kids to help name puppies that will become police dogs.

This year, the names for the future police dogs had to begin with the letter R, be 1-2 syllables and have no more than 9 letters. 13 names were selected and the winners get a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the pup they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP water bottle.

The contest winners and the winning names were announced on April 13. One of those winners was Sophie, a student Greenfield Elementary School in River Ryan, Cape Breton. The name she selected was Rogue. The RCMP shared photos of the presentation to Sophie on Friday.
