Russian sniffer cat killed in alleged contract killing
FROM ABCNEWS.COM
A Russian sniffer cat used to track down fish smugglers has been run over in a suspected contract killing.
Russian television said Rutsiq the cat was hit by a car in which he had found smuggled sturgeon several years ago.
Rutsiq was originally adopted as a stray at a police check point in the Stavropol region, but he quickly became Russia's only sniffer cat when his ability to find hidden sturgeon was discovered.
------------------
I often wondered how good a cat's nose was...
RIP Rutsiq...
