KUALA LUMPUR: A dog trained to sniff out pirated
discs, from a Malaysian unit which criminals have made threats
against, has been found dead in the undisclosed location where it
was kept, a report said Sunday.
The New Straits Times said that
Manny, a 1-year-old golden Labrador which arrived in Malaysia in
February, died about a week ago and that authorities were trying to
determine the cause of death.
“We have sent Manny’s body to
University Putra Malaysia for a post-mortem,” said Roslan
Mahayuddin, the enforcement director of the Domestic Trade and
Consumer Affairs Ministry.
“He had not started work yet so
I doubt that there was anyone who wanted to harm him,” Roslan
said, according to the newspaper.
The first dogs in the unit,
another pair of Labradors named Lucky and Flo, made headlines last
year after uncovering huge stashes of pirated CDs, doing serious
damage to the lucrative illegal industry.
