China’s First Corgi Cop Caught Stealing Sausage 🐕‍🦺

Seeing his potential, Fuzai’s owner donated him to a police dog training center, where he began training as a reserve explosives-detection operative in January 2024 and officially joined the force in October. With his short legs, bright smile, and sharp detection skills, Fuzai quickly became an online favorite, especially after a viral video showed him stealing a grilled sausage from a child during a patrol in April—an act that drew laughter from onlookers and sympathy from netizens.

Despite being scolded by his trainer and promised stricter food refusal training, Fuzai’s mischief only added to his charm. Earlier in January, he was also punished for napping on duty and peeing in his food bowl, but still received a special Lunar New Year meal featuring Pacific herring, pumpkin soup, and rabbit meatballs.
