Anti-Piracy Dog Passes On

I was definitely unaware of the fact that anti-piracy dogs existed (they sniff out pirated DVDs I guess...)

That aside, one of them passed away in Malaysia (poor ol' Manny was a gift from the Motion Picture Association of America and hadn't adjusted to his new home).

Even though there are bounties out on dogs like Manny who round up millions of dollars worth of counterfeit DVDs each year, "foul play is not thought to be responsible for Manny's demise." And just in case you thought you were confused, yes- I did say there are people willing to pay 10's of thousands of dollars to kill these poor dogs.
