A Colombian veterinarian who surgically implanted liquid heroin inside live puppies to smuggle the drug into the US was sentenced to six years in prison on Thursday. The 39-year-old will be deported to Colombia after his sentence. Notably, one of the puppies was later trained by the Colombian National Police to become a drug-sniffing dog.
