This Labrador Can Sniff Out Pornographic Material On Electronic Devices

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CBSLA.com) — Meet the mutt with a nose for smut: URL.

The 16-month-old black Labrador has been recruited by the Weber County Sheriff's Department in Utah to do one thing: sniff out pornographic material that may be stored on electronic devices.

Apparently, there are certain chemicals used that URL knows very well.

The dog was trained by the same man who helped take down former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle for child pornography.

"Specially trained to sniff out electronic storage devices such as thumb drives, cellphones, SIM cards, SD cards, external hard drives, tablets and iPads, URL offers a unique set of skills to aid investigators in fighting crime," the department wrote in a release. "Whether it's child porn, terrorism intelligence, narcotics or financial crimes information, URL has the ability to find evidence hidden on basically any electronic memory device. He will assist our investigators on these specific types of cases, and he will also be used in our correctional facility to seek out contraband such as cell phones."

URL is also expected to work with the F.B.I., Homeland Security, and other agencies.

The Sheriff's Department shared this announcement on its Facebook page:
