This Chihuahua is very alert! I wonder what he sees?
Were you under the impression that the Chihuahua breed of dog was just for sitting in your lap or going with you on your arm as an accessory? If you were, then you were very wrong. These little dogs really believe they are big dogs. And they will prove their worth if you just give them the chance.
A case in point is the newest rescue dog in Japan. He is a Chihuahua and by all appearances he loves his job.
When you really think about it, this makes perfect sense. Japan is hit with earthquakes on a regular basis. Rescue dogs really earn their pay in the country because of that fact. However Labrador or Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds can’t go into a lot of the parts of a collapsed building because of their size. A Chihuahua or other small dog can. So this is the perfect solution for an ongoing problem.
Knowing that a Chihuahua can get quite full of themselves, my only question is, how will you keep this little dog from pushing the big dogs around?
I must say, I am surprised, but not astounded to see a Chihuahua doing this work. Animals are capable of a lot of things if we just give them the chance. If we train them to understand what is needed and expected from them, they will come through for us no matter how little they are.
