WATCH: Policeman & Dog Take On #22Kill Press-Up Challenge
A video of a British policeman and his dog taking part in a push-up challenge has gone viral.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary dog handler PC Steve Hopwood and his canine companion were taking part in #22Kill, which involves doing 22 press-ups for 22 days to raise awareness of that number of US veterans who commit suicide every day.
Suicide, meanwhile, is the single biggest cause of death in men under 45 in the UK.
It's hoped the challenge will raise awareness of mental health issues among servicemen and women, and is a chance for people to show their support for military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
And it's already seen support from one of Britain's most seriously injured soldiers, Rick Clement, as well as other veterans and serving personnel.
