As you’ve probably seen in the news Subway sandwich spokesman Jared Fogle has been accused of some horrible crimes but I bet you didn’t know that a dog helped to catch this predator and force him to stand trial for his crimes.

A Labrador Retriever named Bear is trained to sniff out electronic items such as thumb drives and SD cards. According to CBS4, Bear is an Electronics K9 and one of only three dogs in the United States that has the elite capabilities of locating electronics.
Bear works on food incentives and is a highly efficient and motivated worker. He can accomplish in less than five minutes, what a dozen FBI agents are unable to accomplish in hours or days. Way to go Bear!
