DVD sniffing dogs

Really the title of this post says it all. Police in Malaysia (in accordance with the Motion Picture Industry here in L.A.) have trained a few black labs to have the ability to sniff out DVDs. This was done with the intention of cracking down on pirated DVDs in the area. Apparently the dogs are very good at what they do, because they led to a bust that confiscated about $4 million in illegal DVDs.

They do not, however, have the ability to discern between illegal and legal DVDs -- that would be amazing! I'm just wondering what the home lives for these dogs are. Can their owners not own any DVDs? I also enjoy picturing the dogs pulling their policing owners to all the Malaysian Blockbusters in the area.

Nice, Lindsay. I am glad you are using your time wisely. So you should check out my blog. I am having friends able to post, to get the inside story of high school and Omaha. Should be pretty sweet...Still need to think of a better name for it though...Any ideas?

Linds,
Can I get one of those dogs to help me return my movies on time & not pay late fees?
