Canine duo sniff out counterfeit discs

WITH ruthless criminals barking mad and wanting to take their predecessors for a long walk off a short pier, two Irish labrador retrievers have been drafted in by the Malaysian government to sniff out pirate DVDs.

Manny and Paddy have been drafted in to track the pirates who are flooding the Malaysian market with fake discs.

They will have a hard act to follow as their predecessors, Lucky and Flo, have cult status, not just for their cute looks but their clever noses.
