The dogs located the discs a secret compartment in a shop in the country's capital on Saturday. Anti-piracy officials had previously raided the premises after receiving a tip, but found nothing. "They decided to call in the canine brigade," a local newspaper reads. "Within minutes, the two Labrador retrievers sniffed out the hidden discs in a room that could only be accessed by the push of a button hidden under a plug outlet."
Pirates in the country have reported but a bounty on both dogs after the initial seizures, leading authorities to tighten security around the animals. Malaysia has stepped up its efforts against copyright infringement as it negotiates a free-trade pact with the United States.
