Do not be fooled by their easy-going demeanor. These pups
- Lucky Star, Schumann,
Feida, Brother, AJ and Full Moon are training to become top dogs in Taiwan's National Police Authority Anti-Bomb
and Drugs Task Force.
The puppies come from a legacy of Police Dogs, their mother, Yellow being already deployed in Taiwan's National Police Agency Anti-Bomb and Drugs Task Force and their father, Leader is a sniffer dog too.
For
now, the puppies, which are barely over a month old are more occupied in
learning the basics like walking, sleeping, eating, playing and
practice-barking. “Sometimes, [Lucky Star] would fall asleep while eating, and
then he would wake up suddenly and carry on eating like nothing happened. How
could people not love something as cute as that?” asks Captain Pan from
Taiwan’s Police.
For
now, these pups have a bit of growing up to do before they unleash their puppy
power to fight crime and save the
world.
The
puppies and their parents are Labrador Retrievers. Labradors are one
of the most popular breed of dogs in the US and UK. By nature, they are
good-tempered, intelligent and hard-working dogs. Historically, Labradors were
