Arriving at her new home for the first time, Blitz, a labrador retriever who was then eight years old, proceeded to conduct a thoroughly professional search of the Housing Board flat in Teck Whye.
It was what she had been trained to do for most of her life as a narcotics sniffer dog in the Singapore Police Force's (SPF) K-9 unit, and Blitz was nothing if not a model professional.
