Normally, I’d consider articles concerning DVD-sniffing dogs (aside from the ridiculousness off it all) out of context for the blog. However, last Friday while I was travelling, I got a call from an old friend who told me a story about such dogs (although not the DVD-sniffing variety).

A few years back, my friend was coming back from an international flight and going through customs and some sort of law enforcement agency came around with the canine squad. Usually the dogs are intimidating, but these were beagles (from the Department of Agriculture?) which are generally more approachable dogs than the usual German shepherds. They came near a lady, who, being a nice friendly person, decided to pet the beagle. All hell broke loose as the the officers pulled to dog back, and one yelled “Do not pet the officer!”. She was promptly escorted away, only to reappear 45 minutes later looking rather frizzled and disheveled. Nice.
