Andres Lopez Elorez, a U.S. veterinarian working for a Colombian drug trafficking ring, used the puppies pictured here in 2005 to smuggle packets of liquid heroin on commercial flights to New York City, where the heroin packets were eventually cut out of the puppies, who died in the process. Elorez, who pleaded guilty in September to conspiring to import heroin into the United States, received a six-year sentence on Feb. 7, 2019. (Photo via Drug Enforcement Administration)
