Police Dog Takes the Subway: "Squished and Confused" – Adorable Expression Melts Netizens' Hearts: 'Is Petting It Considered Assaulting an Officer?

During peak commuting hours, a police officer ensured that a police dog did not get stepped on by allowing it to lean against him for support, creating an adorable scene. Unlike typical pet dogs, police dogs carry significant responsibilities while on duty, often appearing serious and intimidating. However, a police dog in Shanxi, China, captured the hearts of many netizens with its charming reaction on the subway.

The video shows a crowded subway car filled with commuters, including an officer with a police dog. To save space, the officer gently held the dog, allowing it to stand against him. Surrounded by people, the dog appeared somewhat anxious, constantly looking around with its ears perked up. When it tried to sniff a passenger in front of it but was stopped by the officer, its expression resembled that of a wronged child, showcasing a cute side of these typically serious police dogs.

The sight of the bomb detection dog nestled in the officer's arms was reminiscent of an ordinary pet. This amusing moment prompted numerous comments from netizens: "Dog: I got squished on the subway today", "Its eyes are so clear", "What a good boy" and "Does touching it count as assaulting an officer?" Some recognized the dog as "Xiaomi" part of the Taiyuan police force in Shanxi. Xiaomi is actually a bomb detection dog and frequently patrols subway stations with Officer Yang. At four years old, Xiaomi is known for being affectionate and often appears in videos on Douyin (TikTok) where it sticks close to officers and plays with other dogs, attracting many fans with its adorable antics.
