K-8.5 Unit Catches Suspect
Tink the mighty crime-fighting dog can't really be called part of the K-9 unit. They have size requirements, after all. But Tink rounded up a suspect just as well as the regulars do it. Even if Tink is a chihuahua.
The dog's Christmas Day adventure began when four suspects who were fleeing police crashed a stolen minivan into a hillside in this Sierra foothill town east of Sacramento, and one of them fled.
Tink, a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix, found him hiding under a neighbor's motor home and chased him into the woods, said Wendy Anderson. The dog belongs to her son.
Her son and husband directed a law enforcement helicopter to where the 20-year-old man was hiding.
One hopes the Auburn, California police are having a special unit patch made up for Tink as an honorary member. Note to criminals: watch out for the little guys - they overcompensate.

This doesn’t surprise me after seeing MIB2.
