UKTV’s Alibi channel has secured the UK rights to Canadian drama series Hudson & Rex.
Hudson & Rex revolves around the special partnership between the dedicated detective Charlie Hudson and his extraordinary former K9 dog Rex. From kidnapping, homicide and hostage situations, to fraud and corruption in high places, Charlie, Rex and their team are a force to be reckoned with.
The drama series, which is the first English-language adaptation of the highly successful European format Rex, A Cop’s Best Friend, stars John Reardon and German shepherd Diesel vom Burgimwald. Canadian broadcaster Citytv recently renewed the series for a third season.
It is expected to premiere on Alibi later this year.

Sadly, I can't watch this, as I don't have Sky (or whatever other service is available).
I really wish Alibi would come to Freeview.

Me too! I could watch it at my Mom's as she has the Sky FTA channels. And she's also into cosy crime so would enjoy it too.

What does it mean his "former" K9 dog Rex?
Was the dog retired from the police and the detective adopted him as a pet and still brings him along on cases (like Columbo did with his dog)?
Or are they both retired from the police and work as private detectives?

Just looked this up and it said'
"K9" is a homophone of "canine". ... Because it sounds like "canine," which is the Latin name for the dog family. K9 security dogs usually refers to police dogs, and is just a name used to mean that they're trained for service.
