Chihuahua Police Dog

by Gillian Anderson • Dec 15, 2010 at 3:50 pm

Japan’s first Chihuahua police dog, Momo, passed her search-and-rescue test by finding a person in only five minutes after smelling their scent. She’ll be used in rescue operations where her small size will allow her to fit into places too narrow for bigger rescue dogs.

The Stranger depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
