A drug sniffer dog working at a prison in northern England has received death threats because it is so good at its job, a British newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The unnamed four-legged super sleuth searches visitors at Manchester's Strangeways Prison and there have been "tangible death threats against the dog because it is so successful," according to The Guardian.

The dog, one of six used at the prison, was removed from frontline duties after complaints and its sniffing powers assessed.

"He was 100 percent more sensitive than some drug dogs and he was also 100 percent more accurate," a prison spokeswoman told the paper, adding the prison's top dog was back on duty.
