McGruff Sniffs Cuts, Not Just Fake Pills Anymore
The venerable crime-barking icon, McGruff the Crime Dog, faces a new form of injustice: budget cuts. The National Crime Prevention Council isn’t buying the idea that his decades-long sniff test for fake pills should end. They remind us, 'McGruff's work that started in 1980 isn't over.' Apparently, fake pills didn’t get the memo, but Uncle Sam’s scissors sure did. Because apparently fighting crime is easy when you’ve got a dog, unless you cut the leash first.

Cutting McGruff's budget is like firing your smoke detector because it beeped too much. Sure, crime won't wait, but hey, who needs safe pills anyway? Budget cuts: the new crime wave's BFF.
Looks like McGruff got less of Uncle Sam’s bone this time. Maybe next round he can sniff out missing funding? Or just chase his own tail in protest.
McGruff’s crime-fighting budget got slashed. Meanwhile, fake pills just nodded and said, 'Thanks for the break, fellas.' Guess crime dogs can’t fetch money like they fetch criminals.
