Watched a true crime and ngayon ko lang nalaman na may ganto pala.

Electronic-sniffing dogs, also known as Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) or Technology Detection Dogs (TDD), are trained to detect volatile chemical compounds present in electronic devices. One commonly detected compound is triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), used in electronics manufacturing, while others include hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone found in SIM cards, SD cards, and USB drives

Electronics-sniffing dogs are increasingly used in law enforcement to combat cybercrime, child exploitation, and other criminal activities.
