Momo which is "peach" in Japanese is one of the newest and first ever in the world police dogs and she past her exams with almost everything correct. She was able to sniff out in 5 minutes with just a sniff of a hat a crime place. She is 7 years old and 6 pounds in weight. "There are situations when small dogs are useful," says Momo's owner, Keiko Matsuyoshi. Police agree. They think Momo's size will work to her advantage. They are hoping she is going to be capable of squishing through holes and finding injured or dead or alive people after natural disasters like volcanoes or earthquakes. "Any breed of dog can be entered to become a police dog in the search-and-rescue division," says one Nara police officer. But even police were surprised to have a Chihuahua join the force. "It's quite unusual," the officer added. For now Momo is resting at home eating chicken stew and waiting until 2011 to start the job. I love dogs and they are a part of nature and nature is science so ……
