Drug sniffing Dogs love my car

[Hoser]

So we were heading back to the States after spending my birthday and more in Canada with my family, and at the border my son kept calling out to the nice doggy. Well, he seemed to loooove our car, and we got pulled over. They searched the car, patted me down and searched my wife, and still found nothing. I got questioned (So, you were at your buddy's house and he smokes pot, right?) and I had to tell them, no, my family is deeply religious and don't even drink, let alone go near that. Not to mention the fact that I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and can't even smoke because of that.

They still looked at us confused and then just let us go.

I can't think of what that dog smelled, although our car smells of many things. I'm wondering if it was the pound and a half of espresso in the back seat......

Did you buy it new or used? If it was used maybe someone else had some drugs in the car at one point, and the dogs are picking up on that.

Don't they use coffee beans to sneak drugs through customs? Maybe dogs are trained to look for that.

Yep, along with fabric softener and strong perfumes as well. The dogs can usually pick up the drugs anyway though.

Good to know

She bought it used about 8 years ago. That car's been over the border when it was still guarded by soldiers with assault weapons.

Hmm, well then... Has your son recently made any trips to Bogotá?

 

[Outpost4]

Hoser, you haven't lent your car to Regis Philbin lately, have you? You know those Hollywood types.

 

[Hoser]

I should teach him 'Bogota'. He'd love that word.

The guards were really confused. They said the dog has never been wrong. Yet they could easily have torn the car open and found nothing....

The only thing I could think of, other than the coffee, is that while it was parked someone was hanging around it. Other than that, unless the dog is attracted to some scent left by a cat (which I'd assume they'd be trained to get around)

Regis Phibin. I once told someone that that was the name of a demon of hell....

 

[ByrdMan]

Just out of curiosity, where were you crossing? Whenever I cross the border there are never dogs, but it's in a pretty remote area.

 

[The Great Meech]

I know why you got pulled over. You have to sell the crack before you cross the bridge. Before! How many times do we have to go over this? My merchandise had better be safe, Hoser.

Probably the coffee. I had a friend that used to work in the K-9 unit of the County Sheriff, and he told me once that certain coffee and herbal blends can trip up a dog; cause a "false positive". He said it was more a problem with younger dogs that don't have a lot of field experience yet, but it can happen to older ones too if there's a lot of conflicting smells that they've trained to ignore.

Maybe your car smelled like another dog's ass and the sniffer dog wanted to say hello?

I see I'm not the only one fond of The Dog Whisperer.

Drug sniffing dogs love my top dresser drawer.

Windsor/Detroit. Tunnel this time, maybe we'll do bridge next time.

You are a small man. I can't even fit my son in a dresser drawer anymore.

You're not fooling anyone, man.

We all know that when you say "pound and a half of espresso," you really mean "eight ball of coke."

Remember: the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

You can do it. We're all here for you.

 

[Peacemaker]

So, the dog came over 'cuz your son called out to him. Sounds like grounds for a bad search already.

It's almost a quote by one of the guards interrogating me.
Only like the fifth time I've been patted down and searched since I met my wife. o.O

I bet he would. Probably a big fan of "cartel" and "drug mule" as well.
