We’ve seen the pictures of animals begging for adoption at the local SPCA, but can you imagine accidentally getting a retired Department of Fish and Game “sniffer” dog?

Apparently the first six dogs have graduated from the Fish & Game’s canine academy, trained to sniff out the usual stuff as well as Quagga Mussels and Bear Gallbladders.

I know they don’t wind up at the Pound when completing their tour of duty, but adopting one would sure make a fisherman really popular.

“Hey Fella, it was peaceful and restive until you pulled in with that lop-eared, dimwitted, chow-hound of your’s – can you get him to stop goddamn barking?”

(Faithful pooch is frozen immobile on the riverbank snarling at the water.)

It smells like financial ruin, especially when you’re headed back to the parking lot and the first thing you hear is, “%$#@, some goddamn Bear ate my goddamn waders!”

If it’s dark enough perhaps you can slip “Bear” into the backseat before he burps..
