Fargo police dog sniffs out 'black market' sanitizer in tongue-in-cheek video

The Fargo Police Department made light of the nationwide shortage of hygiene products on March 19, sharing video that appeared to show K9 Kilo sniffing out a small bag of hand sanitizer in a store room.

“Our canine unit has adjusted their training a bit to account for black market items,” the police department joked on Facebook.

Public Information Officer Jessica Schindeldecker told Storyful the video was put together as a joke, and that a small bit of marijuana, a substance Kilo is well-trained to find, had been placed in the bag alongside the hand sanitizer.
