Scout discovered something far more fascinating than the typical dog, which usually returns from a snuffle in the undergrowth with a stick or after rolling in something they shouldn’t.

The green plastic packets of cannabis and the big amount of money were both kept in a satchel bag that was concealed by the underbrush. The finding was made the same week that five large bags of Class A narcotics were found in Pentwyn’s underbrush.

South Wales Police wrote on social media: “Ok, ok, it was us who let the dogs out… on this occasion PD Scout.”

“Following information received around drug dealing in the #Pentwyn area, proactive patrols have been – and will continue to be – carried out around hot spot locations.”

“During a recent search, PD Scout alerted to a satchel bag concealed in undergrowth – this bag containing over £2,200 in cash and 97g of cannabis.”

“Earlier in the week, five deal-size bags of believed Class A drugs were also recovered after being hidden amongst undergrowth. All have now been taken off the streets of Pentwyn.”

“We can, and as shown here, regularly act upon the information provided to us by the public, so please keep it coming and continue to work with us.”

Over 300 dog owners who were impressed flooded the Facebook post’s comments section.

One wrote: “My spaniels have never found anything on a walk except for fox poo and bread! Well done Scout.”

Someone else commented, “Why do I never find 2k in a bush?”, and another joked, “Money does grow on trees! My mam lied to me!!”
