I guess maybe there’s just no substitute for good breeding. Mok and Lai are two street mutts in Thailand who became ace sniffer dogs at an airport near the notorious Golden Triangle opium-producing region. They were plucked from obscurity under a program initiated by the king, to turn strays into police dogs.
While they won praise for their police work searching for drugs at an airport, there were a couple of minor behavior problems. Okay, let’s be honest. While sniffing the luggage the dogs liked to pee on it as well, and nit-picky passengers started complaining.
Today, Mok and Lai are working on a farm. I hope they got a couple of pieces of luggage as a retirement gift. Here’s the story:

Well, at least they didn’t become amorous with the bags as well…or the passengers.
