 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Malaysia hopes to obtain special dogs trained in Ireland to sniff out bootlegged DVDs as part of growing efforts to combat movie piracy in a country accused of being among the world's top producers of illegal discs, officials said Wednesday.
The dogs will form the government's first canine anti-piracy unit and be a permanent replacement for Lucky and Flo, two Labradors trained in Ireland that have been on temporary loan to Malaysia by the U.S.-based Motion Picture Association.
Malaysia hopes to have a new pair of Labradors trained in Ireland with the association's help by next year, said Iskandar Halim, a senior enforcement official in the Domestic Trade Ministry.
