The Finnish Customs Authority has been lent an amazing dog called Springer by the government of the Netherlands to help them catch people trying to smuggle contraband into the country. Springer has a special talent which sets him apart from most sniffer dogs in that he can uncover smuggled packages of fake erectile dysfunction medication.

As well as the usual narcotics like heroin and cocaine which people try to smuggle, Springer can sniff out impotence medications like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra despite the best intentions of smugglers to keep them hidden. There were quite a few nervous faces when customs authorities first proposed Viagra dogs because people were concerned that their legitimate Viagra stash would be impounded when they went on holiday but rest assured that Springer is only there to sniff out impotence medications being sent across borders by post.
If Springer comes across legal and genuine Viagra, Cialis or Levitra it will be examined and then sent on without being impounded. The postal customs authorities are only trying to have an impact on the huge business in fake erectile dysfunction medication which is run by criminal empires and which leads to serious health problems.
According to the Finnish government it is estimated that around 44 million euros of fake medication is purchased every year by its citizens and the vast majority of it is sent into the country by air mail. They hope that with the help of Springer people will realize that ordering fake erectile dysfunction medication online could lead to their drugs being impounded and them being arrested.
Sniffing out fake Viagra is far more difficult than sniffing out other drugs because it doesn't have a very potent smell but so far Springer has had plenty of success according to his trainer.
Fake erectile dysfunction medication kills. Only buy the real thing.
