Police Dog Swap

An elite police dog was stolen and replaced with a mongrel puppy by thieves in Mexico this week.
Rex IV was swapped with the mixed breed puppy during an air transfer from Mexico City to the northern state of Sinaloa. The dog was bound for a drug operation with several other police drug sniffing dogs. An airline employee said a man posing as a police officer requested to switch Rex IV with the puppy because the dog was unwell.
Rex IV is a highly trained Belgian Malinois sheepdog with a long record of drug busts. Officials fear that the thieves will use the dog’s abilities to find new methods of concealing drugs.
