Animal rights groups have hailed an initiative by Norwegian police to fight animal cruelty using a dedicated police force.

Police in Norway's western county of Sor-Trondelag (sic) will reportedly appoint a three-person force comprising of an investigator, a legal expert and a co-ordinator.

That should say "Sør-Trønderlag".

Also of note, the dog in the picture appears to be wearing a bunad, which is a traditional Norwegian folk costume.

Anyway, this is too little, and too late, but hopefully they will get more resources soon.
