Tel Aviv, Israel -- Israeli researchers say they've developed a portable but powerful electronic bomb sensor that can detect multiple kinds of explosives better than any dog.
The new device is attracting considerable attention from security companies worldwide, ScienceDaily.com reported Thursday.
Developed by Tel Aviv University chemist Fernando Patolsky, the sensor improves on existing detection technologies that have the drawbacks of high cost, lengthy decoding times, size and a need for expert analyses.
"There is a need for a small, inexpensive, handheld instrument capable of detecting explosives quickly, reliably and efficiently," Patolsky says.

Alameda, Calif. -- Police in California said they reunited an 80-year-old woman with her dog, which was stolen from her during a robbery while she was walking the canine.
Alameda police said a Stockton woman saw an image of the 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier on the news Wednesday and recognized it as the canine she had purchased from a man and a woman for $20, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.
The woman took the dog, Deuce, to police, who verified the animal's identity and returned him to owner Helen Bignone.
Investigators said the man and woman who sold the dog did not appear to know it was stolen during an Oct. 30 robbery perpetrated by two male suspects.

Seattle -- The president of Washington state's West Seattle Soccer Club said his dog took an envelope of fundraising money and ate $300 in cash and $900 in checks.
Bill Fry said he found a $50 bill on his deck when he returned home and initially thought it was a lucky find until he discovered an envelope containing $600 in cash and $900 in checks was missing from atop his dresser, KING-TV, Seattle, reported Tuesday.
Fry said he found about $300 buried in his yard and noticed scraps of money in the droppings of Cosmo, his 5-year-old lab-shepherd mix.
Fry said he will replace the swallowed cash and he is hoping soccer parents who wrote the checks will send replacements.

Detroit -- A Michigan man discovered the day after he had his ailing 11-year-old Rottweiler euthanized that the dog was up and on her feet.
Matt Olivarez said he had put the animal, thinking her dead, on a pile of straw in the garage in Redford while he considered where to bury her, The Detroit News reported. He told the newspaper he felt like he had walked into a horror movie.
Olivarez's mother, Brenda Shead, said Mia was the only puppy in the litter to make it, so it is not surprising she is hard to kill.
"She has a strong will," Shead said. "She doesn't give up."
Olivarez said Westcott Veterinary Care Center in Detroit told him the drug used on Mia might have been diluted.

Santa Fe, N.M. -- The head of a New Mexico animal shelter stopped at a police station to explain a dog-napping "mistake" and 15 dogs were seized from her car, police said.
Natalie Owings, director of the Heart and Soul Animal Sanctuary near Santa Fe, said there were 15 dogs in her vehicle Thursday when she stopped at the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office to explain why an employee had taken a Yorkshire terrier Sept. 28 from outside the Bureau of Land Management offices on an apparently bogus tip the animal was being abused, the Albuquerque Journal reported Friday.
However, while Owings was explaining what she called a "big mistake," deputies seized 15 dogs, including the Yorkie, from Owings' truck, Sheriff Greg Solano said.

Armonk -- A New York state pest control specialist says his dog, Trace, detects bedbugs with 95 percent accuracy, far more effective than human detection.
Seth Tokson, owner of Armonk, N.Y., business Top Dog Scent Detection, said Trace, a mixed-breed dog, has received training from the Florida Canine Academy and detects bedbug infestations in specific rooms with 95 percent accuracy, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
"It saves people money and time not having to treat the whole house," Tokson said.
Bill Ayers of Garrie Pest Control in Peekskill, N.Y., also uses dogs in the detection of bedbugs.
