We’ve all heard of drug sniffing dogs or more generally detection dogs who are taught to sniff out such things as explosives, drugs, blood, human remains, etc. These dogs are mostly used by law enforcement to aid in discovering more information about a particular animate or inanimate object. But have you ever heard of a porn sniffing dog? Meet URL, an 18-month-ol rescue dog who is a part of a very elite group of K-9s that are able to sniff out anything that stores electronic material.

URL helps big agencies like Homeland Security and the FBI in cases that include counter terrorism and child pornography. URL is able to sniff out chemical compounds unique to electronic storage devices, one of URL’s fellow dog colleagues, Bear, even aided in finding one of the main pieces of evidence when it came to ex-Subway spokespersons Jared Fogle’s child pornography case. Here are some other surprising things dog’s can sniff out (and an excuse to post pictures of really cute dogs):

  1. Health issues in people: diabetes, infections, cancers, high blood pressure etc.

2. Drowned bodies

3. Ovulation

4. Bedbugs

5. Whale poop

5. Electricity
