LIMA (Reuters Life!) - She can't float like a butterfly, or sting like a bee, but Chela the boxing dog certainly packs a punch -- and a bite too.
With her red boxing gloves on, the 3- year-old German Shorthaired Pointer dodges punches and throws jabs with her front paws while standing up on her hind legs. Her trainer says she's the only dog in Peru who knows how to box.
"Chela didn't want to put the gloves on at first," said Cesar Chacaliaza, a brigadier in the national police force who has been training dogs for 13 years.
