Szikra, a wire-haired Hungarian vizsla, was an arson detection dog, whose task was to search for substances suitable for causing arson and who provided invaluable help on countless occasions investigating burnt-out cars, apartments and houses.

Zeusz, a wire-haired fox terrier, was an explosive detection dog, whose task was to search parcels, cargo, aircraft, vessels and road vehicles as well as crime scenes. International action to counter terrorism justifies the use of explosive detection dogs around the world. In the frame of the sheet Kántor, the famous detective dog that was the star of the television series about him, and Tuskó, a real- life detective dog, are featured.
