Labrador Retrievers from Northern Ireland sniffed out the polycarbonate used in making the discs.

Trained to be the first canines in the world to sniff out discs, the dogs would be able to locate discs packed in boxes or unregistered containers.Even if the dogs cannot distinguish between genuine and pirated discs, enforcement officers said the dogs will still be valuable in locating discs disguised as other items.When taken to a scene, the dogs would sniff around, and they would sit down and wag their tails should they find something suspicious.

They had their first major success yesterday when they led enforcement officers to a cache of one million pirated optical discs worth RM10mil.

It was said that undisclosed bounty had been put up for those dogs.

In 2004, a drug cartel in Colombia placed a US$10,000 (RM35,000) price on the head of a golden Labrador Retriever named Agata, one of Colombia’s best drug-sniffing dogs. She began her career in 2003 and has since helped track down 300kg of cocaine and 20kg of heroin.
