Dogs, which help airport authorities sniff out narcotic drugs, could have their own little homes somewhere near the airport.
The Air Intelligence Unit has proposed that these sniffer dogs – which presently put up at their handler’s home due to shortage of space – be kept in isolation inside specially made kennels.
The isolation, say officials of the unit, will help sharpen a canine’s power to sniff out drugs, thus leading to better recovery.
These dogs, say the officials, tend to lose their sensory power while staying with the handler’s family.
A senior official, who has had a long-standing stint in dealing with such dogs, said that the logic behind this move is that dogs, when isolated, tend to visualise the day’s happenings, including the smells they inhale and sound they hear.
