MCMINNVILLE, Ore. -- A sheriff honored a family's golden retriever for digging up $85,000 worth of black-tar heroin in a family's backyard. The owners of a dog named Kenyon thought he had dug up a time capsule in their backyard, so they filmed themselves opening it. As they did, they realized Kenyon had found drugs. Yamhill County Sheriff Tim Svenson identified the substance as more than 15 ounces of black tar heroin.
