A man running for mayor in a township near Philadelphia, USA has possibly taken the war on drugs a step too far after vowing to investigate the use of "drug-sniffing bunnies" if he is elected.
Republican candidate Dave Gautreau brought the idea up at a mayoral forum in Phoenixville last week, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Unfortunately for the hapless politician there's no such thing, with the idea going viral earlier in the year after appearing in an April Fool's Day post by police in Amherst, New York.
After being told of the hoax Gautreau pressed on, saying he was serious about becoming mayor and would continue to look for "creative ways" to battle the region's drug problem.
