Beijing brings in 160 more sniffers

Some 160 sniffer dogs from across the country are being sent to Beijing to help bolster public security efforts before and after the upcoming Olympic Games.

The canines, which will be primarily used to seek out explosive devices and materials, will add to the 44 sniffer dogs already working in the capital.

After a one-month intensive training course in Beijing, the canine bomb detectors, are expected to serve at key public places, including Olympic venues, logistics centers, and at the airport and subway stations.
