'I don't have a problem with donating dogs to the police. That's not an issue,' Councilman Bob Blumenfield said. 'But what I'm concerned about is that this company, called the Adlerhorst International, is the name of the Nazi bunker used by Adolf Hitler during World War II.

The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday declined to accept a donation of two police service dogs, and sent the request back to committee after one council member raised concerns about the company that provided the animals."I don't have a problem with donating dogs to the police. That's not an issue," Councilman Bob Blumenfield said at Tuesday's meeting.

In March, the Board of Police Commissioners approved a transmittal for the acceptance of two dogs -- with a value of $26,900 -- for Metropolitan Division's K-9 Platoon. According to the department, the two dogs would replace another pair who have retired out of the program due to old age and health concerns.The L.A. Police Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides funding and support to the LAPD.
