Do electronics have a smell? This Caldwell County K-9 sniffs out evidence of internet predators

A fluffy white Labrador raced around the room, intently sniffing in fake potted plants, around chairs and under tables. His goal was to find hidden electronic storage or communication devices.

The dog is Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Harrison. Harrison is an electronic storage detection K-9. He is also a certified anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder therapy dog.

“If it was an internet crime on children case or something, there was a child that we find that was a victim,” Harrison’s handler Lt. Doug Dupell said. “(After the search), I turn right around, put the vest right back on, and we go to that child. We can start therapy for that child on scene. We don’t have to wait anymore. We don’t have to call and try to schedule an appointment or try to get somebody there.”
