Sniffer Dog Smelled Child Pornography in Jared Fogle Case

It was a two-year-old Labrador, Bear, which was Jared Fogle's worst enemy.

Bear could sniff out a thumb drive missed by police investigators during a search of the former Subway spokesman's home last month, calling Bear a "porn-sniffing dog," according to e!

By easily detecting tiny memory cards, the dog got training with techniques linked with "any other K-9 training, like with the narcotics or explosives or anything," his trainer explained. "You get the dog used to the odor and reward them as they indicate on it."

Only five US dogs are trained to sniff out electronic devices. Bear was a major player in Fogle's downfall, according to nbcnews.

The lead prosecutor on the Fogle prosecution is thus a "key part of the team," although he did not believe in it in the beginning. "I thought I was being punked, but it does work," he says.

The FBI informant as well as Bear's sniffing abilities have helped to nail Fogle and prosecute him for child-porn, according to usatoday.

Bear's coach is a deputy fire chief, who sells dogs to law enforcement agencies after their training. Bear will soon be going to Seattle, where the police department contacted the trainer after hearing about the Fogle case.
