man
had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when
another man sits down in the aisle seat and puts his Bloodhound in
the middle seat next to the man...
The first
man looks very quizzically at the dog and asks why the dog is allowed
on the plane.
The second
man explains that he is a Drug Enforcement Agency 
officer
and the dog is a 'Sniffer dog'.
'His name
is Smithy and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne,
when I put him to work.'
The plane
takes off, and once it has leveled, the agent says: Watch this.' He
tells Smithy to 'search'.
Smithy
jumps down, walks along the aisle, and finally sits very purposefully
next to a woman for several seconds. Smithy then returns to his seat
and puts one paw on the agent's arm.
The agent
says, 'Good boy', and he turns to the man and says: 'That woman is
in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of her seat number
and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.'
'Say,
that's pretty neat,' replies the first man.
Once again,
the agent sends Smithy to search the aisles. The Lab sniffs about,
sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to his seat and
this time, he places TWO paws on the agent's arm.
The agent
says, that man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making note of his
seat number for the police.' I like it!' says his seat mate.
The agent
then tells Smithy to 'search' again.
Smithy
walks up and down the aisles for a little while, sits down for a moment
and then comes racing back to the agent, jumps into the middle seat
and proceeds to shit all over the place.
The first
man is really amazed by this behavior and can't figure out how or
why a well-trained dog would behave like this, so he asks the agent
'What's going on?'
The agent
nervously replies, 'He just found a bomb.'
