China’s First Police Corgi Has 400,000 Followers and a Nose for Trouble
In a country where police dogs are typically German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois, one furry officer has captured the hearts of the Chinese public with his adorable looks and impressive skills. Meet Fu Zai, China’s first police corgi, who has amassed an impressive following of 400,000 on social media platforms like Weibo and Douyin.
Fu Zai, whose name translates to “Rich” in English, was recruited by the Chengdu Police Department in Sichuan province at just one year old. Despite his small stature and unconventional breed for police work, Fu Zai has proven to be a valuable asset to the force. With his keen sense of smell and boundless energy, he has helped officers sniff out drugs, explosives, and other contraband in various operations.
According to his handler, Officer Li Wei, Fu Zai’s compact size allows him to access tight spaces that larger dogs cannot reach, making him particularly effective in search and rescue missions. In addition to his impressive work ethic, Fu Zai has also become a social media sensation, with fans flocking to his accounts to see adorable photos and videos of him in action.
Fu Zai’s popularity on social media has not gone unnoticed by the Chengdu Police Department, who have utilized his online presence to raise awareness about their work and connect with the community. In a recent post, the department shared a video of Fu Zai demonstrating his search skills at a local school, where he successfully located a hidden stash of drugs. The video quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and shares.
Despite his success on the job and online, Fu Zai’s lack of self-control has caused some issues for the Chengdu Police Department. According to sources within the department, Fu Zai’s insatiable appetite has led to several incidents of him snacking on evidence during investigations. In one particularly embarrassing incident, Fu Zai devoured a bag of confiscated drugs before officers could stop him, resulting in the loss of crucial evidence and a reprimand for the furry officer.
While Fu Zai’s antics may have cost him his annual bonus, his loyal fan base continues to support him, praising his dedication to his work and his undeniable charm. With his unique blend of cuteness and crime-fighting skills, Fu Zai has become a symbol of the Chengdu Police Department’s commitment to serving and protecting the community.
As China’s first police corgi, Fu Zai has paved the way for other unconventional breeds to join the force and prove that size does not always matter when it comes to law enforcement. With his 400,000 followers cheering him on, Fu Zai shows no signs of slowing down in his pursuit of justice and treats.
