Mexico's National Guard Adds Chihuahua Commando to Search and Rescue Team
Mexico's National Guard has welcomed Commando, a 13-month-old, 15-pound Chihuahua, into its canine unit for search and rescue missions. Despite his small size, Commando is undergoing training alongside larger dogs and serves as a mascot to foster community engagement. Previously living with an elderly couple, he was adopted by the force after being taken to a rescue center. His presence aims to challenge stereotypes about working dogs and humanize the security force during public events.
