The dogs will be used in Malaysia for the next month at cargo hangars and storage centers to determine which environment they function best in. "The arrival and deployment of Lucky and Flo will make Malaysia the first country in the world to test the capability of dogs in detecting optical disks in hidden compartments or shipments," Shafie said at Malaysia's biggest air-cargo center in Sepang outside Kuala Lumpur.
The dogs can sniff out CDs and DVDs, either burned or replicated discs, but cannot distinguish between legitimate and pirate discs. "However, the dogs will be valuable in locating disks being shipped in unlikely or unregistered containers," the Motion Picture Association (MPA) said.
