A man is sitting next to the window in an airliner, which is about to take
off, when another man with a Labrador Retriever sits down in the two empty
seats alongside him.
The Lab is situated in the middle, and the first man is looking
quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work
for the airline.
The dog’s handler said, “Don’t mind Sniffer… he’s a “sniffing” dog,
The best there is; I’ll show you once we get airborne when I put him to
work.”
The plane takes off and levels out when the handler says to the first
man, “Watch this.” He tells the dog, “Sniffer, search.”
Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and sits next to a woman
For a few seconds. He then returns to his seat and puts one paw on the
handler’s arm. His master pats him on the head and tells him “Gooood
boy!”
The handler turns to the first man and says, “That woman is in
possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of this and her seat
number for the police, who will apprehend her on arrival.”
That’s unbelievable!” replies the first man.
Once again the handler sends Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab
sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to
its seat, and places two paws on the handler’s arm.
The handler says, “That man is carrying cocaine, so again I’m making
A note of this and the seat number.”
Amazing!” says the first man.
A third time the handler sends Sniffer to search the aisles. Sniffer
goes up and down the plane and after a while sits down next to
someone. He then comes racing back, jumps up onto his seat, and craps all over the
place.
The first man is really grossed out by this behavior from a
Supposedly well-trained sniffing dog and asks, “What the hell was that all
about?”
The handler nervously replies, “Sniffer just found a bomb…”
