In Japan, a Pomeranian began serving in the police

Haku, a Pomeranian, has surpassed 51 other dogs in police trials and tests. Law enforcement officials have high hopes for him. This four-legged friend will track criminals, search for missing persons, and be able to penetrate hard-to-reach areas across the city.

Haku, a Japanese Pomeranian, has become a police dog for the first time. He surpassed 51 other dogs in trials and tests, including German Shepherds and other larger breeds.

Haku's job is to search for missing persons and track criminals. Police believe the dog's cute appearance is an advantage, as he won't frighten people in urban areas.

According to journalists, four-year-old Haku has already begun patrolling in Chiba Prefecture. Its small size and excellent sense of smell allow it to work effectively in densely populated areas and parks, where larger service dogs might feel uncomfortable.

Japanese police expressed hope that Haku's example will inspire their colleagues to accept other small breeds into service, which law enforcement had previously not seriously considered, the portal reports.
