Animals: Former sniffer dog finds a new family home

Siyan, a 13-year-old cocker spaniel that used to be a sniffer dog for the Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, officially started its retirement with a family in the city's Jiading district on Monday. The family was selected from 120 candidates after careful assessment by the authorities. "We are so lucky to adopt the dog," said Fan Xiaoyu, a member of the lucky family. The bureau made its first-ever public appeal in April to find the dog a new home.
