It's up to Midge as the sheriff's office downsizes

As a 2.7-kilogram Chihuahua-rat terrier mix, she looks like she belongs in Paris Hilton's purse.

The newest recruit for the Geauga County Sheriff Department's K-9 unit could well be the nation's smallest drug-sniffing pooch. Sheriff Dan McClelland began training seven-month-old Midge for drug duties when she was just three months old.
