Dog Specially Trained to Sniff-Out Rapists

Gothenburg, Sweden (AHN) - Detectives in Sweden develop a new investigative tool for rape cases - a sperm-sniffing police dog.

BBC News reports Xena, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois, spent months being trained for the specialist crime-fighting role.

Dogs, specifically Belgian Malinois and German Shephards, are used worldwide to sniff out anything from bodies to drugs, even bombs.

Despite her training, senior officers are still deciding if she can be used in active service.

Captain Lena Thor, of the canine unit of Vastra Gotaland County Police, Gothenburg, says Xena's training was prompted by a request from the criminal investigation team.

"We have a lot of rapes which are outside, in parks, and sometimes it is hard for the victim to tell us exactly where it happened. We wanted to use a dog to help pick out the place, then take the DNA to be tested and compare to that of the suspect," she says.

No. I wasn't making fun of the victims.

Don't mind the naysayers grundle, I thought it was funny(and not in a way that was making fun of victims either). The Clinton apologists here just can't stand to see anyone make fun of their hero.

Wow a republican with a one track mind. I bet Bush is greatful for that way of thinking, those peole won't focus on what an failure he is.

You read the article about how bush is now taking a helicopter in and out of his ranch beacause he is too much of a coward to drive by the protesters?
