Lulu the dog flunked out of CIA bomb-sniffer school because she just didn't care
By Karin Brulliard October 19 at 11:49 AM
Terrorists might be heading to American airports with explosives-packed suitcases right now. Violent extremists could be fashioning pipe bombs in their basements. Thousands of U.S. security officials spend their days and nights preoccupied with detecting and preventing such threats.
But you know who doesnt care? Lulu the black Lab doesnt care.
Until recently, the young pup was training to be an explosive detection K-9 for the CIA. Its an important and noble job, one the agency refers to as no less than the first line of defense against explosive threats to agency personnel and buildings at Headquarters and abroad.
But Lulu, the CIA announced Wednesday in a series of tweets, was really not into it.
