       Four Connecticut State Police drug-sniffing dogs are being credited with helping troopers collar two men on drug-trafficking charges.

       “Troopers from Troop G stopped a truck on I-95 in Darien,” state police said of Friday's bust. “When something didn’t smell right, the big dogs were called in.”

       Those big dogs, police said, “alerted” on the truck, a U-Haul rental, and a search turned up 420 pounds of marijuana.
