Malaysia hails dogs that fought piracy

Six months after sniffing their way to fame in Malaysia, Labrador crime dogs Lucky and Flo were awarded medals Monday for "outstanding service" in tracking down pirated discs.

The exploits of the canine sleuths, who nosed out around 21 million ringgit (six million dollars) in illegal merchandise during their half-year stint, endeared them to Malaysians and regularly landed them on the front pages here.
