We report the result of searching for globular clusters (GCs) around 55 MilkyWay satellite dwarf galaxies within the distance of 450 kpc from the GalacticCenter except for the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Sagittariusdwarf. For each dwarf, we analyze the stellar distribution of sources in GaiaDR2, selected by magnitude, proper motion, and source morphology. Using thekernel density estimation of stellar number counts, we identify eleven possibleGC candidates. Crossed-matched with existing imaging data, all eleven objectsare known either GCs or galaxies and only Fornax GC 1-6 among them areassociated with the targeted dwarf galaxy. Using simulated GCs, we calculatethe GC detection limit $M_{\rm V}^{\rm lim}$ that spans the range from $M_{\rmV}^{\rm lim} \sim -7$ for distant dwarfs to $M_{\rm V}^{\rm lim} \sim 0$ fornearby systems. Assuming a Gaussian GC luminosity function, we compute that thecompleteness of the GC search is above 90 percent for most dwarf galaxies. Weconstruct the 90 percent credible intervals/upper limits on the GC specificfrequency $S_{\rm N}$ of the MW dwarf galaxies: $12 < S_{\rm N} < 47$ forFornax, $S_{\rm N} < 20$ for the dwarfs with $-12 < M_{\rm V} < -10$, $S_{\rmN} < 30$ for the dwarfs with $-10 < M_{\rm V} < -7$, and $S_{\rm N} < 90$ forthe dwarfs with $M_{\rm V} > -7$. Based on $S_{\rm N}$, we derive theprobability of galaxies hosting GCs given their luminosity, finding that theprobability of galaxies fainter than $M_{\rm V} = -9$ to host GCs is lower than0.1.
