China's first Corgi police dog causes stir after snatching sausage
China's first corgi police dog has once again captured public attention — this time by snatching a sausage while on duty. Fuzai, a one-and-a-half-year-old pooch based at a police dog training centre in Weifang, Shandong province, has built a reputation not just for his bomb-sniffing skills but also for his mischievous nature, according to local media. He was discovered at just two months old by police dog trainer Zhao Qingshuai, who was immediately taken by the young dog's curiosity and instincts. Fuzai officially joined the ranks in October 2024 after successfully completing his training in explosive detection, vehicle inspection and obstacle navigation. Since then, he has participated in security operations including the Weifang International Kite Festival and community outreach events. Despite his budding career, Fuzai's journey hasn't been without hiccups. In January, he was disciplined after being caught napping during duty and urinating in his food bowl — behaviour that earned him a temporary ban from treats and toys. Even then, the public was more amused than outraged, with the Weifang Public Security Bureau gaining more than 400,000 followers. Now, the corgi has made headlines once more after swiping a grilled sausage from a young girl during an April patrol. Caught on camera, the moment shows Fuzai taking a bite and strolling off, leaving the crowd laughing. The girl's mother later assured the media that her daughter was unbothered and finished the rest of the sausage happily. Trainer Zhao issued a public apology and promised to tighten Fuzai's food discipline, local media stated. "Fuzai broke the rule of never taking anything from the public," said Zhao, vowing to improve Fuzai's impulse control. Nonetheless, social media users rallied to defend the corgi. 'With a dog as cute as Fuzai, how could anyone stay mad?' one person said. On 29 April, Fuzai and his trainers visited the girl's kindergarten, offering sausages, themed gifts and a kite to make amends. "I hope both Fuzai and my daughter grow up healthy and happy. Stay strong, Fuzai," said the child's mother. Iran and the US concluded a fourth round of negotiations over the long-standing dispute of Tehran's nuclear programme. The talks, which were mediated by Oman and therefore held in its capital, Muscat, lasted for three hours. As with the previous three rounds, the negotiations were mediated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US President Donald Trump's spcial envoy, Steve Witkoff. A US official, who spoke to press agency AP on condition of anonymity, said the discussions were of both direct and indirect nature. "We are encouraged by today's outcome and look forward to our next meeting, which will happen in the near future,' the official added. Iran claimed the talks only took place indirectly, possibly over internal political pressures within the Islamic Republic. Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said the talks were "difficult" but admitted that "there's a better understanding now." "We've, to a large extent, moved away from general discussions and gotten into more detailed matters. Naturally, this makes the negotiations even more difficult," Araghchi said speaking to state media on Sunday. The talks seek to limit Iran's nuclear activities in return for economic sanctions imposed by the US to be lifted. In March, a United Nations' nuclear watchdog reported Iran had accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium. Iran is believed to have of the enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. The US wants to prevent Tehran from developing its stockpile, however Araghchi insisted Iran would continue its uranium enrichment. "From our perspective, (uranium) enrichment is something that absolutely must continue, and there's no room for compromise about that," Araghchi told state media. "We may consider limitations on its dimensions, scope, level, and amount for a certain period to build confidence, as we did in the agreement, but the principle of enrichment itself is not even negotiable," he added. The talks come as US President Donald Trump is expected to visit the Middle East this week. The American leader has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran if a deal isn't reached. Araghchi confirmed another round of negotiations have been agreed on, although the date and location still need to be set.

China first corgi police dog in trouble again – this time for stealing sausage during patrol
BEIJING: China's first Corgi police dog has found itself in trouble again, this time for stealing a sausage from a child during a patrol, however, netizens have leapt to the canine's defence. One-and-a-half-year-old Fuzai, from a police dog training base in Weifang, Shandong province in eastern China, was given the name to bring good luck and success. His talent was spotted when he was just two months old when his owner took him to a park, where police dog trainer Zhao Qingshuai noticed his drive, curiosity, and hunting instincts. Seeing his potential, the owner donated Fuzai to the police dog training centre. Fuzai started training as a reserve explosives-detection operative in January 2024. In October 2024, after months of learning tasks like searching luggage, inspecting vehicles, and crossing obstacles, Fuzai passed his tests and officially joined the police force. In April, he helped provide security at the Weifang International Kite Festival. Fuzai has also taken part in public open house events, where he interacted with visitors and showed off his skills. With his big smile, short legs, and sharp detection skills, Fuzai quickly won hearts online. His story, posted on social media by the Weifang Public Security Bureau, has attracted over 400,000 followers. In January, Fuzai was punished for napping on the job and peeing in his food bowl, which cost him his year-end bonus of snacks and toys. The incident amused social media users across China. A few days later, his trainer shared a video saying that although the treats were taken away, Fuzai still received a festive Lunar New Year meal with Pacific herring, pumpkin soup, colourful dumplings, and rabbit meatballs. But the naughty canine was soon up to more mischief. On April 26, while on patrol, Fuzai snatched a grilled sausage from a child's hand. A video shows him turning his head, taking a bite of the sausage, then casually walking away as a crowd bursts into laughter. The girl's mother later said her daughter finished the rest of the sausage without complaint. After the patrol, Fuzai's trainer tried to find the family to make up for the snack but could not find them. She later posted an apology online, saying Fuzai had been formally scolded. 'Fuzai broke the rule of never taking anything from the public,' the trainer said, adding that stricter food refusal training would follow. The story has received much attention online, with many netizens calling for forgiveness. 'With a dog as cute as Fuzai, how could anyone stay mad?' one online observer said. 'Maybe it is time to upgrade his meals so he is not so tempted,' said another. On April 29, two trainers took Fuzai and two sausages to the girl's kindergarten, where they gave her and her mother some Fuzai-themed gifts and a kite. 'I hope both Fuzai and my daughter grow up healthy and happy. Stay strong, Fuzai,' the mother said. - South China Morning Post
