Lee said that seeing this, he immediately "banqueted" Twix, Umi and Umi's sister Uma to the concierge and entertained them with their favorite snacks to thank and praise their dedication and outstanding performance in the disaster relief mission.

Lee pointed out that Twix, Umi and Uma are very lively and active, and when they arrive at the concierge lawn, they are very excited. In addition to being a good friend of humans, dogs are also seamless working partners.

At present, there are more than 340 working dogs in Hong Kong's disciplined forces and other government departments, assisting department personnel in performing various duties related to maintaining law and order and ensuring public safety, including patrolling, investigation, anti-narcotics, search and other work. He would like to take this opportunity to express his most heartfelt thanks to the dog handlers and dogs who have been silently guarding safety and urban security. (End)
