Utah gets first porn seeking dog

Mmmmkay

This pup has a scent for porn.

Utah, which declared pornography a “public health crisis,” now has its first porn-searching dog, trained to sniff out any smut.

The 16-month-old K-9, named “URL” but pronounced “Earl,” was rescued from a shelter as a puppy and went through half a year of training in Indiana to search for porn.

URL’s highly sensitive nose has been trained to sniff out chemical compounds found in thumb drives, phones, SIM cards, SD cards, hard drives, tablets and iPads, the Weber County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

3. Earl should go through senator Todd Weiler home and office first.

Depending on how the dog alerts when it finds porn, could give a new meaning to the term "pointer dog".

And the PC can be a born again Virgin so long as the computer takes a purity pledge.

10. Presumably this is to search places once all the known PCs, phones etc. have been removed
