Who is responsible for bringing down Subway spokesman Jared Fogle? A 2-year-old rescued black lab named Bear.
When authorities searched Fogle’s home as part of a child porn investigation, they turned up nothing. But then Bear was brought in and sniffed out some key evidence. Via NBC News:
The 2-year-old rescue pooch nosed out a thumb drive that humans had failed to find during a search of Fogle’s Indiana house in July, several weeks before he agreed to plead guilty to having X-rated images of minors and paying to have sex with teenage girls.
So how did Bear do it?
Much the way other dogs can pick up the scent of a fugitive or a cache of cocaine, Bear can smell the components of electronic media, even a micro-card as small as a fingernail that a suspect could easily hide.
Currently, there are only 4 dogs in the national trained to hunt down electronic media.
