Drug sniffing dogs

Drug sniffing dogs, also known as detection dogs, are specially trained canines used by law enforcement to locate illegal drugs. These dogs have a keen sense of smell, estimated to be 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than humans. They can detect specific scents associated with various substances like heroin, cocaine, or marijuana. During searches, handlers command the dogs to sniff luggage, vehicles, or individuals. When a dog indicates the presence of drugs, it helps law enforcement take further action. Their use is a valuable tool in combating drug-related crime and enhancing public safety.
