Police dog fired for laziness

Fred is a classic example of good talent gone to waste.

The Gulfport, Mississippi Police Department dog had the talent for sniffing out contraband, but he was lazy and too easily distracted, authorities told the Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald.

The department had to let Fred go -- back to his previous owners at K-9 unlimited in Louisiana.

While on duty, Fred could be found playing with a soda can instead of doing the police work he was trained to do.

Hopefully he'll qualify for unem-paw-ment.

Maybe he's goofing off on a donut sugar high...?

I once saw a drug sniffing dog eat a guy's lunch! Turned out they weren't feeding the dog enough. It's one thing to keep 'em lean and focused on reward, another to not give them enough to be able to concentrate on their job.
