Beware, Canadian criminals. If you happen to be at the bottom of a wall this Vancouver police dog can still catch you—just as long as you wait around long enough for him to slip into a harness and rappel down to you.

The Vancouver Police Department posted this photo to their official Facebook page recently, striking fear into the hearts of slow-moving criminals everywhere.

Mostly everyone agrees that "Niko" looks terrified, but Vancouver police say that it's a useful part of the K-9 officer's training. Although it's hard to see in the photo, the dog is in a full-body sling for its comfort, police said.

Police dogs ain't nothing to mess with—you can be arrested just for barking at one.
