Sniffer dog security

Malaysian officials say movie pirates have put a bounty on the heads of two police sniffer dogs who helped to bring down a fake DVD ring.

The dogs, Lucky and Flo, have been trained to sit down when they smell plastic and led police to fake DVDs worth $3.7 million in a raid on Tuesday.

The Trade Ministry says bosses of the affected crime syndicate have offered an unspecified reward for anyone willing to kill the two female Labradors.

Authorities say they are taking the threat seriously and have stepped up security around the dogs to ensure their safety.
