Puppies join soldiers during Chile military parade
Dozens of dogs with Chile's police canine unit joined an annual military parade on Thursday (September 19). The pups have become the undisputed stars of the event since they first took part in 2017. A police lieutenant with the canine training group, Fernanda Rubilar, said the socialization process to prepare the dogs for the parade begins two weeks in advance.
