Trained dogs are helping parents find out if their teens are doing drugs.
Services dogs are used for all sorts of things.
They find people in the rubble after natural disasters…
They help people with disabilities shop and make their way through the city…
They follow clues to find missing people…
They sniff out drugs and bombs at airports and big public events…
And now you can hire one to sniff for drugs in your teenager’s bedroom.
This is considered a controversial move by critics because they see it as a breach of trust between teens and their parents…
But if you’re worried that your teen might be mixed up in drugs, you may be willing to go to whatever lengths it takes to keep your child safe.
Here’s how it works:
You hire the dog and the person who works with the dog. This is $200.
They come into your home and sniff around for drugs like: heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana (pot).
If the dog smells something on the No-No list, the dog will sit down so that YOU can go looking for the drugs at that point.
The dog doesn’t do any damage to the room. And the person in charge of the dog doesn’t touch anything in your home either.
The dog essentially just “points” to where it smells something drug related.
What do you think about this?
Would you use a dog to sniff out drugs in your tween or teenager’s room so you could know the truth?
