Fu Zai, a cute corgi only six months old who has been trained to be China's first corgi police dog, made his debut during the opening day of a police camp in Weifang, Shandong province.

His debut once again hit people's stereotype that "little short legs" cannot join the police force. Unlike those long-limbed dogs full of strength and vigor, Fu Zai quickly went viral online thanks to his iconic smile, distinctive short legs and excellent explosion device-seeking abilities.

As a reserve police dog, Fu Zai faces a "heavy workload": training is scheduled for every morning and afternoon, involving a variety of subjects, such as obedience exercising, bomb search, sniffing techniques and so on. Throughout the whole process, Fu Zai stood out and outperformed many of his peers at two months old.

However, some have doubted whether this adorable police dog can actually overcome obstacles, and chase down and deter suspects.
