The latest recruit to the The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Dog Unit has begun his six-week training course with five other dogs and their handlers but he has discovered he has the same name as one of his classmates - Duke.

Now, he is appealing to the public to help him pick a new one so as not to cause confusion during his training to join the drug dog team.
