This makes alot of sense for THIS story now.
excerpt: She gives an example of a Muslim woman who aroused suspicion by pulling away when a police dog sniffed her purse -- she had a Koran in the purse, and she did not want the dog, considered unclean, to come in contact with the Holy Book. /excerpt
Nice doggy must have smelled something. Cause, according to Islam, nice woman wouldn't normally be carrying a Quran.
Nice catch!
