An airport’s first TSA explosive detection dog was showered with his favourite toys, as he prepared to retire.
Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, USA, hired Rex, a 6.5-year-old German short-haired pointer, to sniff out potential threats five years ago, and he’ll now be heading home to live life as a “normal” dog.
However, the airport wouldn’t let him leave without a celebration of his work. As he left the building, staff members threw tennis balls to him, getting him excited, and chasing around the floor as they cheered him on.
