   NEW YORK –  Two men were arrested on drug charges after heroin   
   was found hidden in the false bottom of a dog crate containing a   
   Labrador retriever that had been shipped from Puerto Rico to New   
   York.   
      
   Samuel Seabrooks, 35, of the Bronx, and Carlos Betancourt-   
   Morales, 27, of Carmel, were arraigned on drug possession and   
   conspiracy charges Sunday, according to the Queens district   
   attorney's office.   
      
   Prosecutors said Seabrook and Betancourt-Morales met up at a   
   Bronx IHOP restaurant Friday night and traveled in separate   
   vehicles to the American Airlines Priority Parcel Services at   
   Kennedy Airport.   
      
   The two men had a brief conversation before Betancourt-Morales   
   entered the cargo building and signed for a delivery receipt for   
   the dog crate, prosecutors said. He was stopped by police as he   
   pushed the crate on a rolling cart toward the building's exit.   
      
   After obtaining a search warrant, authorities recovered 10   
   plastic wrapped packages containing more than 22 pounds of   
   heroin with a street value of more than $1 million. The packages   
   were stamped with the Nike swoosh logo and a five-pointed star.   
      
   The two New York men face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.   
   Information on their attorneys was not immediately available.   
      
   "Statistics show that, unfortunately, heroin has made a comeback   
   in New York City and its surrounding suburbs, with fatal   
   overdoses outpacing homicides," said Queens District Attorney   
   Richard Brown.   
      
   Animal rights activists condemned the use of a "helpless canine   
   as a drug mule," said Jean Shafiroff of the American Human   
   Society. She called for better animal control at New York City   
   airports.
