Protecting Movie Industry Dogs

June 13, 2007

Even the movie industry’s dogs need protection from pirates.  No, counterfeiters aren’t keeping their DVD burners going day and night for dogs like Gigli, The Island, Zodiac or Basic Instinct 2. 

It’s the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) adorable black Labradors, Flo and Lucky, that need protecting.  Flo and Lucky have the amazing (some might say unbelievable) ability to sniff out the polycarbonate chemicals used in making pirated DVDs (as well as all other kinds of DVD copies.) 

So the always-creditable New Straits Times reports that Malaysian pirates are protecting their lairs and wares from the noble chocolate Labs with aggressive bulldogs.   

Peddlers have come up with another 'ingenious' idea to keep Lucky and Flo away from the illegal DVD stocks - by putting up 'Beware dog' warning signs as Labrador Retrievers are thought to be vulnerable against aggressive breeds.

Undeterred, the pair of public relations dogs have allegedly helped bust over one million pirated DVDs.
