Detail:

With an amazing amount of precision we landed our Imperial transports on the high ground in Rush Street within metres of each other. With a quick curbside transition into armour we proceeded in to the park. We were following up on a lead that dogs were being trained to sneak around security protocols and endanger high value targets. TKs Angelman and JOker were dispatched with the assistance of the Tusken Keld ( Tusken dog called Ubu). We donned disguises to blend in with the local population.
JOker and Angelman (TK-Woof the Dalmatian) were a shoe-in for the "Dog that most looks like it's owner" competition. (We allowed one of the locals to take that award, so as not to draw too much attention to ourselves).

Angelman and Keld found it quite easy to mimick the behaviours of the local animals known as "dogs".

Angelman was even asked by this dog "Are you my father?"

The dogs appeared to enjoy a game called Frisbee, so to maintain our cover we played also.

Apparently Tuskens make good retrievers ... who knew? Sit Ubu sit... Good boy.

Unfortunately during our investigations we lured to a free vet check up by them having very cute puppies. What more cute than puppy, a TK with a puppy.

So being in the line with the cute puppies resulted in our disguises and Imperial resolve being tested to the limit. The vet was all too glad to inspect these usual breed of dog. Trooper Angelman now has unusual fear of the colour blue.

Tusken Keld was also subjected to testing by the vet. Does anyone want to know the internal temperature of a Tusken?

Both the Tusken Ubu and TK-Woof were given a clean bill of health from the vet.

Tusken Ubu wanting to flee the vet area managed to get a little tangled.

Tusken Ubu was also a little disappointed that the play area was considered off limits to dogs.

The event was very well supported, the organisers thanked us for attending. No threats or suspicious training activity was spotted.
All in all we had a fantastic time on this mission and hope to do again next year, in greater numbers, so that we may cover more ground and identify any threats to use our beloved four legged friends for nefarious purposes.
