Dogs Trained To Sniff For counterfeit DVD's

Two black Labrador dogs have become the first in the world to be trained to sniff out counterfeit DVD's.

The dogs have already passed their first big test. They were put to work at courier company FedEx's UK hub at Stansted in the UK where they successfully discovered DVD's in parcels and packages.

Although none of the discs they discovered was a pirated copy, the organizations behind the trial expressed satisfaction with the results. "This is the first time dogs have been used anywhere in the world to search for counterfeit DVD's and the results were amazing," said Mr Ian Leinster, director general of the UK-based Federation Against Copyright Theft.
