On this episode of Daily Paws Presents: Warm Fuzzies, host Karman Hotchkiss talks with Tyler Van Leer, a fire marshall with the Millville (New Jersey) Fire Department, about his partner Hansel, the country's first-ever pit bull certified in arson detection.

Equipped with his all-star sniffer, Hansel searches fire scenes for accelerants, letting Van Leer know if he finds anything by taking a seat. But early in his life, there was no indication Hansel would help solve crimes. In fact, there was no indication he would live any kind of life.

"He essentially broke this case wide open and we were able to connect all these dots because he literally just came in out of nowhere and said, 'Hey, there's something here.'"Fire Marshal Tyler Van Leer
