Misha

Misha is a neutered male Belgian Shepherd who came to R.A.I.D. Corps, Inc. from the Netherlands in 2012 at age two. He arrived already imprinted in major narcotics. After joining our team, he was further trained in prescription drugs and fire arms.

Misha’s sense of smell is so good that he can pick up trace and residual odors. For instance, if you were to smoke a marijuana joint before getting into your car, Misha could later pick up trace odors on the door handle of the car, as left there from your smoking hand. Additionally, if you were to have a bag of marijuana on the floorboard of your car and then remove the bag before inspection, Misha could later detect the residual odors left on the floorboard.
