A K-9 officer has put a dent in the drug trade in Chicago.

Jayda the dog helped police find $10 million worth of marijuana last week, CNN reported.

Officers had pulled a driver over who was suspected of trafficking drugs. Jayda's sniffing alerted officers to the contraband. They said they found 1,500 pounds of marijuana on its way from California to Chicago, CNN reported.

The bundles of marijuana were stuffed in the car and trailer, WBBM reported.
