EASTERN CAPE. – Ian Cameron has asked the police where Coco, a 12-year-old former drug sniffer dog who served in the Eastern Cape, is currently located and what options have been considered to find him a suitable retirement home. After his withdrawal from operational service, Coco served as a blood donor at the police's veterinary hospital. According to Cameron, he is now too old for that role as well.

Ian Cameron, DA-LP member and chairperson of parliament's police portfolio committee, says he learned about Coco when he went through information about Sky's case. Cameron asked the police for an updated veterinary assessment. He says he has not yet received confirmation that a decision has been made to put Coco down.

If Coco can enjoy a comfortable retirement with appropriate care, every reasonable effort should be made according to Cameron to find him a home.
