URL, the Weber County Sheriff’s Office’s retired Electronic Storage Detection Canine, died on Dec. 30 just shy of his eighth birthday.
Utah’s celebrated “porn-sniffing” police dog, named “URL,” has died just shy of his eighth birthday, less than a year after his retirement from the force, officials announced.Thursday, revealing that URL “untimely” passed away on Dec. 30 while in the care of his original handler, Detective Cameron Hartman, of the Webster County Attorney’s Office.URL was only the fourth dog in the US to be certified and trained as an Electronic Storage Detection Canine.
Initially, URL was deemed to be untrainable because of behavior issues, but the Central Indiana Labrador Rescue & Adoption recognized the pup’s “unique talents and drive,” and set out to find the right setting for him, which ultimately led the pup to the then-fledgling nationwide Electronic Storage Detection Canine training program.
URL’s exploits and his vivid nickname — “the porn-sniffing dog” — attracted much media attention over the years, including appearances on CNN and the longest-running reality TV show, “Cops,” in 2017.
