Thai bomb dogs retraining to sniff for drugs 
 
Bangkok 13 Sept 99, AP: Thai army sniffer dogs with a nose for detecting
bombs are being trained to help fight the country's drug menace, the
Bangkok Post reported Monday. 

The military's Rottweilers and Doberman pinschers are being coached to find
narcotics as well as explosives, Maj. Gen. Narong Nilwas of the army's
veterinary department was quoted as saying. 

Thailand has stepped up its narcotics suppression efforts because of
growing concern about the quantities of heroin and methamphetamines coming
in from neighboring Myanmar, also known as Burma.
