They wear tiny heatproof booties, and their keen noses and low bodyweight mean they are much better at searching dangerous scenes than their human mates. 

We’ve used specialist search dogs at #GrenfellTower. They’re lighter than humans and can cover a large area quickly https://t.co/WVA0PBEKti pic.twitter.com/CRuCqSkYiG

And because there’s pretty much nothing better than a dog with a job, people are absolutely loving the crap outta them. 

Hands down, 100%, the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life https://t.co/9eecVTjcEc
