DVD-Sniffing Dog Dies Unexpectedly

(Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) The government announced today that one of the two dogs used to sniff for pirated DVDs has died.

Authorities were investigating the cause of death but did not suspect foul play, said Mohamad Roslan Mahayuddin, an official in the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.

"We are quite shocked," he said.

Manny, a year-old male, died May 31. It was trained in Ireland with another Labrador, Paddy, to sniff out a chemical used in manufacturing DVDs. They arrived in Malaysia in February and had been training with police officers and getting used to Malaysia's climate.

Heh, no foul play suspected. Oddly, that would be the first suspicion I would have.
