I wonder how hard it would be to convince the dogs that the marajuana doctor-prescribed. posted by filthy light thief at 9:57 AM on June 10
The drug war isn't the only war dogs have served in.
All the dogs are gone now. Tux, Smoky, Prince. It's the way life is. Most of the soldiers are home. Many are whole and well because of these dogs. I miss Tux. He was my friend. I remember him and the other brave dogs.
Aww, wook at da cute wibble puppy! Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Yes, you a ... HEY, GET YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY STASH. posted by Cool Papa Bell at 10:13 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]

My friend's puppy ate his stash, about an ounce of weed. Their relationship changed forever on that day. posted by Kirth Gerson at 10:17 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]
They seem to make a bigger deal about a large bust than a small one, but the small personal stashes have got to be more difficult to find. I mean, I think a human would be able to smell 3,680 pounds of marijuana. posted by Juliet Banana at 10:26 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]
It almost seems like animal cruelty, duping these poor dogs into participating in a stupid, pointless fucking "war" on drugs.
Rover, if you're reading this: You don't have to do what they say. You can have a rewarding life that has actual purpose.
Yeah, some of these are really weak. The one DU linked to and "Searched the vehicle and discovered 4 Marijuana roaches and Marijuana particles within the car."
I do like that one of the dogs is named Kilo.

Also, why don't they use smarter animals, like dolphins? posted by snofoam at 10:35 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]
I've trained my hound to sniff out weed, too. But for, you know, benevolent purposes. posted by vito90 at 10:43 AM on June 10 [2 favorites]

Smarter animals would be bored by the mindless drudgery of police paperwork. (See also.) posted by DU at 11:00 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]
DU: you'd think he'd just apply in another district and dumb down his scores a bit if *really* wants to be a cop that bad. posted by Nauip at 11:13 AM on June 10
Go help a blind person. Do something useful.

Stopping someone illegally smuggling hundreds of pounds of anything into the country is probably useful. posted by Pastabagel at 11:15 AM on June 10
Until I googled it just now I thought the dog in the Thin Man movies was named "Astor". Apparently it was Asta! posted by JBennett at 11:45 AM on June 10

The dog lost interest in Fetch and just sat around listening to Pink Floyd records? posted by Joe Beese at 11:47 AM on June 10 [1 favorite]
Well, Joe - it's not so much that he lost interest as that he didn't get the concept of fetch any more. Considering that the guy hadn't yet picked a name for the dog, eating the stash wasn't such a great canine career move. posted by Kirth Gerson at 4:50 PM on June 10
