By Lynn A. Granata

Dogs 🐶 have got be the greatest fuzzy friends in the world. They not only keep you company for hours on end, but they can solve crimes better than mankind ever could.

The reason is obvious, dogs have the keenest sense of smell. No matter what their size is or the breed. They all share the smell factor equally. Dogs are truly crime fighters. Aside from detecting scent, they are natural sentries ready to alert you when they know long before you ever could, who's at the door or on your property.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is awesome. Because they make great little watchdogs and they are small enough to sit in your lap. The have a truly sharp nose, they are used to flush birds and other small wild critters.

A bloodhound is used to find missing persons, relating to a cold case. German Shepherds work with the police, aiding them in the search for drugs and explosives. Bernese Mountain Dogs work with the United States Department of the Coast Guard. They can find a capsized boat, locate and rescue those who may have capsized from drowning.

As for me, believe it or not a small lapdog has just as much credentials as a larger breed.

My last little fur ball was a ShihTzu. He was a great little protector.

 Last year, he passed away from old age, so it's time to get another 🐶 dog. Dogs keep you in shape.

 Dogs never have to be told what to do, they just love you, and automatically defend you while they're by your side. Not bad for a dog.
