Two Thai street dogs who became ace sniffer dogs at an airport near the notorious ”Golden Triangle” opium-producing region have been fired. The dogs, named Mok and Lai, were part of a program begun by King Bhumibol Adulyadej to turn strays into police dogs. Despite their proficiency for drug sniffing, the two were fired for behavior considered unbecoming of a member of the police force. “[Mok] liked to pee on luggage while searching for drugs inside,” said Police Lieutenant Colonel Jakapop Kamhon, said. “He also liked to hold on to women’s legs.” He added that both were just as good as foreign dogs trained for use in drug missions, but they had bad manners because both used to be soi dogs.
