During a six month-stint in Indonesia, two black labradors, Lucky and Flo, uncovered 1.6 million illegal movie discs, three DVD replicators and 97 CD burners, worth $6 million. They were specially trained by the MPA (Motion Picture Association) to sniff out chemicals found on optical discs, and were so successful that Malaysian movie pirates were said to have placed a $29,000 bounty on the dogs.
More optical disc sniffing dogs are being trained, and Lucky and Flo are bound for New York to fight piracy there.
