Smells Like... Underdog!

From the I can't believe it's true files: Two trained sniffer dogs from Northern Ireland are the toast of Hollywood after picking up the scent of counterfeit DVD's, including The Bourne Ultimatum and Underdog, during raids of three retail DVD outlets in New York City. Lucky and Flo, black labs owned by the Motion Picture Association, are trained to sniff out chemicals used to make CDs and DVDs, enabling handlers to distinguish between boxes marked as containing other items. A custom imprinted Dog Food Bowl filled with savory kibble might be a nice reward for the pooches, who returned from a stint in Malaysia with a bounty on their heads from DVD pirates. Talk about a 'Dog Day Afternoon'!
