Lancashire police has just recruited two new canine cadets to help tackle crime across the county. The two adorable puppies, named Arti and Nigel, joined the force just two weeks ago, and it s all thanks to the generosity of two members of the public. Nigel, wearing a blue collar in the pictures, was donated, and named after, retired police officer Nigel Greenhalgh from Accrington. Mr Greenhalgh, 75, has family who breed dogs, and when a litter of 11 pups came along earlier this year he knew he wanted at least one to be donated to the force. Meanwhile teenager Logan Murray from Skelmersdale, decided he wanted to do something for the Dog Unit after witnessing just how hard police pups were working at football matches.

Should you take money advice from a stranger on the internet? In Reddit’s r/personalfinance channel, anonymous users exchange tips on buying homes, choosing insurance plans and managing very personal, nuanced money situations. (Think: “How do I handle my dying dad’s debts?”)
“It’s like crowdsourcing financial advice,” says Dana Eble , a public relations specialist based in Detroit, who regularly browses r/personalfinance.
