The spokesperson added: “One particular job that springs to mind was during a house search.Daisy gave an indication on a Christmas Tree bauble hanging proudly on the tree. Upon closer inspection it was filled with drugs.
“That would definitely have gone unnoticed without her clever snout.
“Sending our condolences to her handler and family.
“Run free Daisy.”
