Agata (dog)

Agata is a female yellow Labrador Retriever drug detection dog who works at Leticia, Colombia. In 2004, Colombian drug barons placed a $10,000 bounty on her head, resulting in the dog and her handler being assigned a bodyguard and her food being monitored for poison.^[1]^[2]^[3] The bounty was the result of her abnormal skills at drug detection, having stopped more than three hundred kilos of cocaine, worth more than seven million dollars, and twenty kilos of heroin.^[2]^[4] She was decorated for her work.^[1]
