YoYo is certainly a top dog

WE ALL love good crime fighters.

For every Morse and Van der Valk, there are alternatives like Batman.

And there is a specialist category for canine friends. After all, hit movies like Turner and Hooch are popular for a reason.

This week, the spotlight is turned on Reading’s very own good dog: Yo Yo.

This impressive pooch has been trained to sniff out fake cigarettes.

No, we’re not sure how she does it, but she has been in action, finding an incredible 20,000 illegal or counterfit ciggies on Reading’s Oxford Road, worth £5,000.

For many of us, smoking is a relic of the 20th century. No more the smelly cinemas, horrible aircraft cabins, and smoky pubs.

But others still have ciggies on a regular basis. They should be buying goods they know are legitimate –reducing the risk of inhaling dangerous substances and ensuring appropriate taxes are paid.

Yo Yo has done us all a service, well done. Give that dog a bone.
