Max, a six-year-old canine and member of the Mexican Marines, was credited with tracking down drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero on Friday.
The female bloodhound found Caro Quintero hiding in the bushes in the town of San Simon, Sinaloa, Mexico.
Caro Quintero, who has long been linked to the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, will be extradited to the United States.
Max, born April 20, 2016, weighs about 78 pounds and is an expert in tracking.
The Mexican Marines commented in a statement that Max played an integral role in locating Cano Quintero.
Who is Rafael Caro Quintero?
Caro Quintero is one of the founders of the Guadalajara Cartel and one of the most-wanted fugitives with a $20 million reward for information leading to his arrest, according to the DEA.
He was arrested for the murder of Kiki Camarena in 1985 and spent 28 years in prison before getting released in 2016.
The DEA has been chasing Caro Quintero ever since and the arrest comes days after Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador met with POTUS Joe Biden at the White House.
Like Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, Caro Quintero now faces a life-sentence in an American prison.
