The incident caused great amusement for the Clay County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook followers.
One commented that there was “no need for the k9 to sniff that one out”, while another said: “I never laughed out loud so much in my life. It took my 20 minutes to tell my husband what was so funny and now he can’t stop laughing.”
