Meet Lulu, the good dog fired by the CIA because she didn't want to sniff bombs

Not everyone is up for a life in working for an intelligence agency.

Such as a dog named Lulu, who was recently dropped from the CIA's explosive detection canine (a.k.a. bomb dogs) training program.

A few weeks into training, Lulu was showing signs that she wasn't particularly interested in sniffing explosives, according to a blog on the CIA's website.

Like humans, dogs can get into a funk when it comes to motivation. It might last one or two days, but with Lulu, her trainers found that it was much more than temporary.

"Even when they could motivate her with food and play to search, she was clearly not enjoying herself any longer," according to the blog post.

"Our trainers’ top concern is the physical and mental well-being of our dogs, so they made the extremely difficult decision to do what’s best for Lulu and drop her from the program."

Fortunately, Lulu has found a new home with her handler. The CIA offers handlers and their families the opportunity to adopt dogs that are dropped from the program or are retired.

"She now enjoys her days playing with his kids, sniffing out rabbits and squirrels in the backyard, and eating meals and snacks out of a dog dish," continues the post.

See? Look, it's a nice doggy.

Lulu's firing echoes the story of Gavel, an Australian police dog who was also let go from the force because he was too friendly. Dogs are just too pure for us.
