Cool.
Now we just need prison dogs that also sniff out shanks, razor blades hidden in cakes and fake heads made out of soap that let inmates pretend they are in their bunks when they aren’t.
Too bad we can’t bring these sharp-sniffing dogs outside of prisons to help find our own cell phones.
Countless times I’ve misplaced mine, often when it’s shut off and I can’t even call it to find out where it ended up.
One former staffer paid $300 for her lost company cell phone only to later find it later nestled somewhere weird.
The cell-phone-finding dogs would also be a plus if they could sniff out keys and forgotten money.
