Photo: Sniffing out only the right stuff

Cruisin’ K-9: Drug-sniffing police dog Dusty sticks his head into the front seat as handler Officer Duke Roessel patrols in Bremerton on Thursday. The newest drug-sniffing dog on the police force in Bremerton is one of a few police dogs in Washington that are not trained to point out pot during searches. Other police departments are considering or in the midst of retraining their dogs to ignore pot as well, part of the new reality in a state where voters last fall legalized recreational marijuana use.
