PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A drug-sniffing dog in Columbia is so good at her job that she has a price on her head.

Sombra, the 6-year-old German Shepherd, is a standout member of Colombia's Narcotics Police.

She has helped arrest over 245 people and seized nine tons of cocaine, earning her two K-9 medals of courage.
