Hong Kong Customs and the Vocational Training Council (VTC) held a Launch Ceremony for the Hong Kong Customs and VTC Co-operation Plan and Prize Presentation for the Puppy-naming Competition on 16 May, marking the commencement of a one-year co-operation plan under the theme "Caring for animals, zero tolerance for pet smuggling".
The highlight of the event was the prize presentation ceremony for the puppy-naming competition. The competition was based on the letters of "EXCELSIOR" to name the nine Customs detector dog puppies born in November last year, representing the hope that these puppies will pursue excellence in training and law enforcement.
