A german shepherd was relieved of his duties due to his lack of interest in fighting crime.

The Associated Press reports that the canine cop was in the employ of the South Yorkshire Police, in Great Britain, and could have had a great career. But doing the "dog thing" seemed to be the better idea as far as Buster was concerned.

He's now been placed with an adoptive family.

On one occasion, Buster walked straight past a suspected criminal hiding in the garden of a house late at night and went off to cock his leg.

When patroling Rotherham at pub closing times - when the streets are often crowded with drunken revelers - Buster wagged his tail when people came up to him and ate their fries.

Some dogs have it in them, and some dogs don't.
