THEY were to be sent to the US as family pets but the puppies were also destined to be unwitting drug carriers.

Colombian traffickers had stitched heroin packets into the stomachs of the six puppies, police said, with all of them having visible belly scars.

The labrador and rottweiler puppies were found in an abandoned house in a rural area near Medellin, 400km northwest of Bogota.

Police raided the house after receiving reports about strange movements involving dogs and loud barking and yelping.

Each of the puppies were found holding between one and two plastic packets containing 400 liquid grams of heroin, said General Ruben Carillo, head of Medellin's metropolitan police.
