The movie industry is cracking down on DVD bootleggers, but not with the kind of crime busters you might expect. While it's not uncommon for dogs to be trained to detect drugs or explosives, the Motion Picture Association of America has sponsored two dogs to take a bite out of the illegal DVDs.

Lucky and Flo recently helped bust three retail outlets in Queens, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. The dogs, which are trained to find bootlegged discs based on chemical scents, helped uncover thousands of counterfeit DVDs during the raid, which led to three arrests. "Man's best friend has become a DVD counterfeiter's worst nightmare," the district attorney said in a statement.

Earlier this year, the dogs helped investigators discover $6 million worth of illegal DVDs and disc-replicating equipment in Malaysia, where worried bootleggers reportedly offered a $29,000 bounty on the dogs.
