Man's dog helps cops bust him on drug charge

PRATTVILLE, ALABAMA -- With a best friend like this, who needs enemies?
Cops in Prattville Ala. say that a man's own dog helped to catch and bust him on a drugs charge. When officers turned up with a search warrant, Edwin Henderson took off running, according to Prattville Police spokeswoman, Paula Barlow.
But after spotting a dog named Bo, one of the quick thinking investigators pointed at Henderson and told the pooch to "go get him." 
 The eager hound gleefully chased his master and when he stopped and wagged his tail near some tall grass, they were able to find and arrest Henderson, who was later charged with manufacturing a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
