Man’s Best Friend? Dog Narcs Out Owner

A suspected meth dealer was turned into policeby his own dog after the pet eagerly led officers, tail wagging, to his hiding place. Edward Henderson was betrayed by man’s best friend soon after running from his Alabama home just ahead of the city’s drug enforcement unit with a search warrant. Henderson ran out his backdoor and down a 25-foot ravine where officers lost his trail.

It was at that moment the cops were greeted by Henderson’s pit bull-husky mix who came out of the woods where Henderson had fled. “The dog, later identified as Bo, looked at one of the investigators and the investigator pointed in what he believed was Henderson’s direction and said “Go get him!’ Bo without hesitation went down the ravine trailed by two police officers.

Upon exiting the brush Bo tipped them off to some tall grass, all by the swoosh of his tail. There with him they found Henderson lying flat on the ground. Henderson was taken into custody and a search of his home recovered methamphetamine and components from a meth lab, said police.

“Bo was rewarded with dog biscuits from our K-9 Sergeant,” a police spokesperson said, making Bo officially a paid informant.

There is no truth to the rumor that Bo is not a pit bill mix, but a “Retriever.”
