Dogs come in so many sizes, shapes and colors, it seems they can fill nearly, if not every, task. We all know that there are dogs that can dig out rats and other vermin, dogs that can herd a whole flock of sheep anywhere it’s told to, dogs that protect livestock from predators, or will protect you and your family.
Have you heard of the sniffer dogs that discovered a fake DVD ring in Malaysia? Two female black Labs sniffed out 3 million dollars worth of fake discs in Malaysia last year. The dogs were trained to sit down when they smelled plastic. The dogs can’t differentiate whether the cd’s are fake or not, that’s for the authorities to decide. They were in Malaysia less than a month when they found the stash. There were music CD’s, games and movie DVD’s. They helped make 26 arrests during the 6 months they were there. Some of the fake DVDs, replicating machines and other tools used to make and sell discs were hidden in secret compartments spread over four floors of an office building.
In the first month Lucky and Flo were there, they made the biggest find. After that big discovery their lives were at stake because a bounty was put on their lives. Since a big chunk was taken out of the business of pirated movies, the pirates wanted the dogs dead. So security had increased around the location where the dogs stayed.
The dogs are home now in New York and possibly Malaysia will see more dogs like Lucky and Flo to help them keep the pirating of films, music and games to a minimum.
