Colombian narcotics officer Sombra – a six-year-old German Shepherd – is in hiding after one of the world’s most ruthless drug cartels put a $70K bounty on her cute, fluffy head.
Per TMZ:
According to reports, the Urabeños drug gang, Colombia’s most feared criminal organization, put the hit on Sombra after the 6-year-old pooch recently sniffed out nearly 10 TONS of cocaine in 2 separate busts. Who’s a good doggie??
Sombra (Shadow in English) had been working Colombia’s port cities, but officials have moved her beat to the Bogota airport because it’s outside the Urabeños turf. Translation: She’s on desk duty, for her own safety.
The gang is known for taking out hits on its enemies, but usually in the hundreds of dollars.
Why so high for Sombra? She’s a badass narc — in her 6 years, she’s helped bust 245 suspects!
Sombra’s accomplishments have made her a cuddly folk hero in the face of Colombia’s ongoing war on drugs.
However, the threat to Sombra’s life is serious enough that, for the time being, the National Police will take extra precautions to ensure her security.
