Andres Lopez Elorez, a U.S. veterinarian working for a Colombian drug trafficking ring, sewed bags of liquid heroin like the ones pictured here into the stomachs of puppies ti smuggle drugs into New York City. 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)
