The canine then immediately marked the man who had approached him, leaving no doubt to the patrolling police officers. & quot;We imagine that he must not have known that it was the stup dog because the dog marked him positive. So he was subject to an identity check and pat-downs. And he was found carrying narcotics", explains Laurent Berthuin. The drugs were in his socks, indicates Le Parisien.

"We found it a little unusual for a person in possession of narcotics to throw themselves into the den of the wolf. This is not common", he added
