He is the best boy who was instrumental in 380 drug seizures worth more than €26m for Revenue and Customs. Now Robbie the highly trained sniffer dog can finally put his paws up after retiring from fighting crime.

During his six-year career the springer spaniel, who went off the clock on December 14, played a key role in locating smuggled illegal drugs and cash totalling almost half a million euro.
