Chilean police are training sniffer dogs to detect the coronavirus in people's sweat at an early stage, after a similar trial in the UK showed encouraging results.

Four dogs have been selected for the initial training, a mix of labradors and golden retrievers who sport green “biodetector” jackets for their task. They are being trained at the Chilean Carabineros´ specialist training base in the capital Santiago. Lieutenant Colonel Cristian Acevedo Yanez, director of the police specialty training school, said dogs had more than 3 million olfactory receptors, more than 50 times those of humans, so were uniquely placed to help fight the coronavirus.

Did someone say chili dog?

doggo saves thee world ☺️

I love chili dogs.

What happens? The dog smells the covid and starts running for the hills to get away from it?

Is there anything dogs can’t do? 🥰🥰🥰

Clearly they should be “Chile dogs”

Dogs have been getting the virus too. Bad idea.

Most dogs, and even some humans, can sniff diseases. This is an area that needs to be researched!

but can't dog get the Rona too

I want this 🐕

Hey, wait! Dogs can get Covid, too!

Trump is not a fan of dogs. He knows that they can detect that he is a fraud.

Dogs are amazing 😀🎉

They’re helping us; like ever.

Poor dogs have to sniff Corona all day as a job.
