The Duluth Police Department has credited K-9 Clodo for using his snout to sniff out hundreds of pounds of vacuum-sealed marijuana during a drug investigation just outside the city.

After receiving a tip regarding the drugs, the Gwinnett Metro Task Force sought help from Duluth's K-9 to assist with the investigation.

"During their investigation, Investigators from the task force enlisted the help of our very own K9 Clodo and his talented nose," Duluth police said in Facebook post. "Clodo was up for the challenge and immediately gave a positive alert to drugs."

Investigators entered the storage unit once Clodo gave his handler the positive alert, where they found in total 533 pounds of marijuana, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

"It's a great example of how our K9 teams are a valuable resource for our entire area beyond just the city they serve," Duluth police said. "Great job by all officers, including K9 Clodo!"
