After Seven Years Of Service, Corgi Police Dog Goes Into Retirement

This nine-year-old Welsh Corgi named Redhead is definitely not the usual police dog. However, due to his powerful nose, he became one of the most talented sniffer dogs in his force, helping to find firearms and drugs. After seven years of his service, Redhead is now retiring from sniffing out criminals.

    His owner, Olga Chumarova, first got him for her daughter. However, Redhead demonstrated his incredible sniffing talents and as a police canine handler, Olga volunteered him for a job at her force in Nizhny Novgorod. And that was the beginning of his seven-year-long career.

    Redhead was quickly trained to search for drugs and catch offenders at bus stops and train stations. He even became a local celebrity as his breed is far from typical for police dogs in Russian police forces, which usually choose strong breeds like German shepherds. He proved that size is not all that matters.

    Even though Redhead lacked the size and strength compared to other police force dogs, he showed obedience, agility, and talent for commands and tricks. His low height also helped him to sniff out objects close to the ground better. Now Redhead will enjoy his earned retirement with his owner, who promised that he will do sports and even dances!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
