One dog has been described as the “world’s most useless watchdog” after being spotted next to its owners during a drug attack.
Footage shared online showed officers arresting the three men on July 28 at a ranch in Hortolandia, Brazil’s Sao Paulo state. Three suspects were seen lying face down on the ground with their hands cuffed behind their backs.
Their huge Rottweiler decided it was best to be compliant with officers and lay down next to them.
Officers seized 1,176 stones containing 1.1 tons of cannabis from the property. Drug police said the drugs had been shipped to the home in Hortolandia from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state.
The drugs were said to be sold in and around Campinas, in the state of Sao Paulo.
While the men, one of whom owns the home, were taken to Narcotics Police headquarters in nearby Americana, the dog remained at the property with the woman who owns the land around the home, who police say was not involved. is in drug trafficking.
It was also revealed that police will return to the ranch today to check on the Rottweiler and two other dogs to see if animal protection services are needed.
