Lieutenant Joshua Hardee says these dogs are a major tool in their tool box, to find, identify and eliminate the drug from different communities.

At first glance, most see a cute labrador when they look at Reno, but the minute she starts working it's clear this K-9 means serious business.

"Aside from marijuana, other drugs like fentanyl, I would not be able to smell it at all in the vehicle," Dellos said."I mean she's got such a phenomenal nose on her you know, she smells the things we can't smell." "My wife's little brother, he died from an overdose that had fentanyl in it so it's impacted our family and sure that's impacted me as well and part of my passion for doing this," Hardee said.

"It's based upon those containers that they are in. One is just basically a trace odor and one is a real odor, but no particles or anything come out of that container," Hardee said. "We're not going to sit back and watch people in our communities die," Hardee said."Already what's been taken off the streets has saved lives."
