"No? Well, our, my dog is, endlessly, at people's legs," Johnson said, as interior minister Priti Patel chuckled.
During the inspection of the police dogs, Johnson praised the dogs
"They do inspire a certain kind of awe don't they on the streets?" Johnson said. "You know if you were a miscreant you wouldn't want them biting you on the seat of your pants."
Patel praised the teeth of the dogs.
"And those teeth look pretty good for when, as the prime minister said, you need to go after someone and nibble," Patel said with a smile.
