Barton, a Malinoa dog born in the SWAT team, was born with a disability and only three legs, and was once recommended by doctors to be euthanized. But then it successfully counterattacked, passed the police dog assessment, and became a riot dog of the Henan Provincial Public Security Department.
On January 10, the "People's Pet Companion - China's First Pet Festival" hosted by Jingdong Supermarket and co-organized by it was held in Beijing. Barton, known as "the most inspirational police dog on the whole network", won the "Indomitable Fighter Award".
Shaguo, a guide dog who is licensed to work in the hospital, and "Big Wolf", a dog that helps autistic children with **, also won awards at this event. Together, they were voted the inaugural China Pet of the Year.
Guide dogs accompany visually impaired doctors to work and become the "eyes" of their owners and are regarded as family members.
In this grand ceremony, a total of 3 annual pets and 8 annual pet characters were produced.
The organizing committee of the festival collected and screened the deeds of animals, pet owners and industry practitioners in the past five years from all over the country, and on the basis of the 80 characters and animals initially excavated, according to the four dimensions of experience performance, public value, social reputation, and industry influence, the final vote selected 8 Chinese pet lovers and 3 Chinese pets of the year.
Shaguo has never been a dog, but my family, and it only has me in its eyes. Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran is a blind doctor at a public hospital in Beijing. In her opinion, Shaguo is her dearest relative, always by her side.
When she was 14 years old, Zhang Ran was blinded by glaucoma, and later she passed the blind physician qualification certificate and entered a hospital in Tongzhou District, Beijing.
In August 2017, Zhang Ran applied for Shaguo from the Dalian Training Base for Guide Dogs in China and became her owner. In her opinion, Shaguo has also become her "eyes".
Because of Zhang Ran's work needs, Sha Guo became the first guide dog in Beijing to accompany the visually impaired to work in a hospital after professional training.
Zhang Ran said that in the past seven years, Shaguo has fulfilled his duties almost 24 hours a day. Shaguo's busy day usually begins with escorting Zhang Ran to work in the morning. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from home to the hospital, and Sha Guo will lead the owner through the intersection, dodge the passing traffic, and reach the hospital smoothly.
In the hospital, Sha Guo can lead Zhang Ran through the floors and corridors to find the destination Zhang Ran wants to go to, such as the consultation room, ward, etc. She can also help her owner and patients relieve tension and fatigue through physical contact and other means.

Congenitally disabled puppy counterattacks as a police dog and can tow 140 pounds of strong men **Dogs participate in autistic children**.
At the event, the story of the police dog Barton and the **dog wolf was also moving.
In 2019, the pony dog Barton was born in the special police team of Xichuan County, Henan Province. Barton's parents were both police dogs in the police force, but Barton was born with a disability in his left front leg, which made him unable to be a police dog.
As a result, Barton was adopted as a pet dog. However, Barton Jr. has a strong personality and is aggressive, so he was eventually sent back to the police force by his owner.
In the subsequent relationship, the handler found that Barton often took the initiative to train with other police dogs, and showed great talent. With the attitude of giving it a try, the Force Correctional Officer began to formally train it.
Barton's performance did not disappoint the trainers. It performs well in the training of skills such as biting and explosion-proof, and can even drag a strong man of 140 pounds.
In April 2021, Patton officially passed the police dog certification exam with "two excellent and one qualified", becoming a real "official dog" and realizing a dog counterattack.
It is precisely for this reason that Barton is also known by netizens as "the most inspirational police dog on the whole network".

Unlike the brave and lively Barton, the canine wolf can be called the "warm man" among dogs.
The big wolf is a professional dog of a ** dog agency in Tianjin. Under the leadership of the dog trainer, the big wolf and its companions are mainly committed to helping autistic children with ** training.
Every month, Big Wolf goes to the local Research Center for Autistic Children** for a companionship integration class. Trained dogs like big wolves tend to be docile and friendly, have super patience with children, and are willing to be hugged and petted by strangers.
Through physical contact, interactive play and other "teaching", the big wolf attracts children's attention and cooperation, and helps children get out of the autistic world.
** dogs like the big wolf build a bridge between autistic children and the outside world, help them establish basic cognition and communication methods, and can effectively relieve anxiety and reduce self-stimulation for autistic children. Zang Tianhao, one of the heads of this ** dog agency, said.
