Stella the Staffie went from sniffing tennis balls to being hailed as a local hero, thanks to her keen nose and the twinkle in her eye.
Stella, being a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, turned the misconceptions of her breed on their heads as she recently sniffed out a hidden stash of what amounted to £25,000 in crime money.
Back in 2013, the pup was found as a stray dog forced to seek sustenance and shelter on the cold streets of Taunton, Sommerset. Stella breed made her to be an unlikely candidate for a job as a search police dog, but the police were soon convinced after locals told them of her knack for sniffing out tennis balls.
The £25,000 sniff-out earned Stella much praise from her colleagues both human and canine in the force, as it became the biggest haul of the year.
