A police puppy named after rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has paid tribute to the star in an adorable snap.
Earlier this month, police named a litter of dogs after the members of Black Sabbath.
It was in honour of the group’s last performance in home city of Birmingham, as reported by What’s The Jam.

At the time a spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Earlier this year, a litter of Sprocker puppies were born and we’ve named them in honour of the heavy metal legends themselves.
“So, without further ado, meet our newest police pups Ozzy, Toni, Sabbath, Billie, Wizard, Geezer and Sharon.
Over the coming weeks the pups will be settling into their new surroundings with the help of our brilliant volunteer puppy walkers.
They said: “These early days are crucial to shaping the confident, curious and capable police dogs they’ll grow into and we’re so grateful to the volunteers who give them the best possible start.”

The force spokesperson added: “We’re really sad to hear about the death of Ozzy Osbourne.
“Our thoughts are with Sharon, his family, the members of Black Sabbath, and his millions of fans around the world.
“In honour of Black Sabbath’s final concert here in Birmingham earlier this month, we named a whole litter of police pups after the band, including our very own Ozzy.
