More On the Drug Mule Puppies

2006_02_drugpuppy.jpg

We mentioned the drug mule puppies yesterday, but there are now photographs and more details. The DEA did manage to save a few of the puppies, and even one agent said, "Throughout my 25-year career, this is one of the most outrageous methods of smuggling that I personally have encountered." The drug smugglers claimed they were show dogs! Now that would be an interesting mock-documentary. Authorities believe that the veterinarian is a fugitive in Spain - and they don't even know if the vet has actual vet training! Previous animal-mule incidents include a sheepdog with cocaine balloons, a boa constrictor with condoms filled with cocaine, and fish smugled with liquid cocaine.

And both the Daily News and Post use "Drug Lab" as part of their headlines.
