DOGS AS SMUGGLERS.
SPANISH COASTGUARDS’ PROBLEM. Spanish coastguards have to face a new enemy in the form of cleverlytrained dogs used to smuggle contraband ashore from boats, according to General Soler Pacheco, of the Corps of Carabineers, in a statement made to a Madrid newspaper. The General says: “It is extraordinary the way these dogs work. When they see a carabineer they cha'nge their direction, and avoid him without making a sound. On reaching the shore they do not shake themselves, as dogs usually do, but set off at full speed to their destination. Nevertheless, many of them are shot down.” The dogs carry the contraband in bundles wrapped in waterproof material and strapped tO' their backs.
