€200,000 drugs smuggled in dogs’ stomachs

TWO drug smugglers were facing lengthy jail terms last night for trying to smuggle €200,000 of cocaine into Britain stitched into the stomachs of two dogs.

The Labradors had 21 canisters holding more than 1kg of the drug surgically implanted inside their abdominal cavities and were used as carriers to smuggle the drugs from Colombia.

One dog had to be put down after a vet found that the canisters had fused with some of its vital organs.
