German Shepherds, Shih Tzus, Beagles, Pomeranians, Pugs – you name them and they are the cutest dog breeds eva! But how could we forget our very own Corgis? When it comes to being funny and playful, no one can beat these dwarf babies. The foxy face contrasted with a short stature is a look to die for, whereas their pricky ears match their playful personality to the ‘t’! Here’s a story of one such Corgi that has left the internet amused with netizens going “awww” for its personality and traits.
Meet Fuzai, China’s first-ever Corgi police dog, who has proved that even crime-fighting can be exhausting for the tiny beings. But Fuzai is not gaining online traction for winning medals of honor or chasing down criminals. But then what else do you expect from a canine officer? Well, this little corgi is making headlines on social media for napping on duty! Yes, Fuzai is going viral for sleeping on his job. Though we all desperately crave to be in such a job, Fuzai is in the limelight for all the different reasons.
Fuzai is a member of China’s police K9 squad. The corgi was recently in the news after he lost his year-end bonus. But the internet is balled over the reason of his loss. Well, Fuzai was caught napping during his work hours and this resulted in him losing his hard-earned bonus. The sleepy little doggo officer is since going viral on social media as netizens are amused by his charisma. He was caught indulging in deep sleep after some officers found their fluffy colleague snuggled up, catching some snores instead of criminals. This ‘lack of professionalism’ ended up in his punishment as his annual performance bonus was cancelled.
Unlike his taller and leaner K9 colleagues, Fuzai was recruited in his squad based on his excellent sense of smell along with his intelligence and agility. Born on August 28, 2023, he has been known for his ‘zeal of justice’ among his other canine colleagues. But his recent laziness has made him pay a price by losing some bucks. However, the news of his loss has made him more viral on social media than his efforts as an officer. As soon as the news circulated on the Internet, netizens have been going crazy with their reactions toward the corgi. Fuzai soon turned into an instant celebrity and an overnight meme sensation.
Ever since Fuzai’s virality, social media has erupted with several memes reminding the Chinese police that ‘the punishment was too harsh’ for the tiny being. Netizens are suggesting that the doggo be rewarded against his punishment for he has demonstrated ‘an ultimate need for work-life balance’. The comment section is filled with dog-lovers claiming “Justice for Fuzai!” One user wrote, “Let the good boy rest.” Another user commented, “Imagine being so cute and still getting fired for napping.” One user joked, “his face screams – ‘pet me, not arrest me’”.
Despite losing his hard-earned bonus, Fuzai has earned a lifetime of love from his online ‘mates’. He has built himself a fanbase that thinks he deserves a medal for being too adorable for the law enforcement job.
