In the face of questioning, Fu Zai performed admirably.

Fu Zai performed well thanks to its unique advantages in the training. "His strong environmental adaptability, insensitivity, his desire for possession of items and his fondness of food are particularly conducive to our training," said Wang Yanan, head of the police dog base of the Weifang public security bureau.

Following four months of training, Fu Zai now can take advantage of his short legs to directly probe beneath the car and easily get into and search narrow spaces. He can also improve interactions between police dogs and the public because of his amiable appearance.

"Police dogs are not only cute, but trainers have done a lot of work and effort to train them," said Wang.

Fu Zai is still naive as a reserve police dog and must undergo a period of further training to adapt to the complex environment before he will be officially appointed and given assignments.
