How Did Jared Fogle Get Caught? A Porn Sniffing Dog, Duh

(Source) – He’s a bloodhound for the digital age. A rambunctious black Labrador named Bear — one of only five dogs in the nation trained to sniff out electronic data devices — played a key role in the arrest of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle on child-porn charges. The 2-year-old rescue pooch nosed out a thumb drive that humans had failed to find during a search of Fogle’s Indiana house in July, several weeks before he agreed to plead guilty to having X-rated images of minors and paying to have sex with teenage girls. Bear has taken part in four other investigations, including this week’s arrest of Olympics gymnastics coach Marvin Sharp. And he’s just been sold to the Seattle Police Department to help investigate Internet crimes. Steven DeBrota, a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Indianapolis, said when he first heard about Bear’s olfactory abilities, he was skeptical. “I thought I was being punked, but it does work,” said DeBrota, who was the lead prosecutor on the Fogle case and calls Bear “a key part of the team.”

Good for Bear! Might be the best detective in the country right now. Two of the highest profile arrests this month had the cuffs slapped on them by bear. But, on the other hand, worst job ever. When you’re at police dog smelling school you gotta be crossing your paws that the sorting hat doesn’t put you into the porn drive class. Send me out to sniff some cocaine and maybe sneak a quick bump, send me to find the prison shoes of framed fugitives on the run after a plane crash, send me fucking anywhere but to learn how to sniff out Jared Fogle’s cummy thumb drive. Bear has to hate getting picked up for a crime scene more than any other dog hates going to the vet. “Where we going? No seriously, where are we going? Tell me straight up. To the park?! You swear?! OK let’s go!….. I smell chemical meats and porn drives. You tricked me and took me to Jared’s house didn’t you, you son of a bitch?”
