An ex-sniffer dog has gone viral after a video showed his reaction to the word 'cocaine'... Let's just say this smart pooch obviously took his job very seriously. Watch:
The German Shepherd - who is called Dante - now lives in Queensland, Australia, after being adopted when he retired from being a sniffer dog.

But he's clearly not left the crime-fighting life behind him just yet, as the hilarious footage proves.
The video was posted on TikTok by Dante's new owner, Davey Rutherford (@daveywa) who wrote: "Sniffer dog knows English."
In the clip, Rutherford reels off a shopping list, throwing in a curveball at the end to see if his pet remembers the illicit substance he was once on high alert for.
Rutherford - who regularly shares videos of Dante on TikTok - says: "All right, shopping list. Bread, milk, pasta, eggs, mayo, cocaine..."

Dante remains pretty chilled as his owner lists each item, casually staring out of the window in front of him.
But when Rutherford gets to the Class A drug, Dante suddenly spins round to look at him accusingly.
"Just kidding," Rutherford adds quickly.

Rutherford's video has been viewed 2.6 million times on TikTok, with more than 565,000 likes.
Many people commented to appreciate the 'complete concern' on Dante's face, while others noted his little tongue poking out.
One user wrote: "I have just watched this 3 times just to see the face."
Pretending to quote Dante, another said: "We don't joke about such things in this house."

A third wrote: "BAHAHA HE LITERALLY IS AN UNDERCOVER COP."
Another said: "The level of concern though."
The clip has since been reposted across social media, with one tweet racking up more than 2,000 likes.
In a follow-up video, Rutherford teases his four-legged friend again, asking him: "So what do you wanna do today? Do you wanna go for a walk to the beach? Maybe swim in the pool... Get a bag?"

Once again, Dante spins around at the punchline, looking nothing short of horrified by his owner.
But despite Dante finding it hard to switch off at the mention of an illicit drug, it looks like he's enjoying his retirement with Rutherford.
Other videos show him chilling in the jacuzzi, playing in the sea, chasing a passionfruit into a swimming pool, chowing down on chicken and even opening the door to Rutherford's bedroom to play with him.
Basically, he's living the life.
