Browser is a black Labrador who frolics in the presence of other dogs and loves nothing more than to hang out with his handler’s grandkids. But he’s also a shrewd detective who has been put to work on some of the most disturbing cases a law enforcement agency can handle.
The two-year-old dog, owned by the Lake County – in Illinois, the United States – state’s attorney’s office since last November, is trained to detect a chemical used in the manufacture of electronic storage devices, and that allows him to sniff out tiny gizmos often used to stash images of child pornography.
