South African sniffer dogs are being used to combat rhino poaching and the smuggling of elephant tusks.
Sapa reports that the sniffer dogs recently uncovered a major drug smuggling operation in the West African country of Benin.
The dogs, trained by Mechem, a subsidiary of state arsenal Denel, were deployed at ports and airfields to counter the growing trade of drugs and illicit substances.
According to the report, the dogs are much more effective than any X-ray system and very efficient.
