Summary

Pathe synopsis: The war proved that the vast perimeters of airfields need unorthodox methods of protection. The RAF then decided that highly trained dogs would be the answer, and today it has the largest force in the world. At the Dog Training School they rehearsed their act, featuring a breath-taking tightrope walk in which the performer gets a favourite meal as a reward - an egg.
