In the airport, the service dog lunged at the infant carriage

At Otopeni Airport’s Terminal D, Officer Andrei and his German Shepherd, Luna, patrolled with sharp focus. For three years, they’d been an unbreakable team. That night, something felt off. Luna suddenly froze, her gaze fixed on a woman with a stroller. Ignoring Andrei’s command, she leapt, knocking away a blanket to reveal no baby—just a biohazard-marked thermal bag with Russian and Chinese labels, emitting a chemical odor. Andrei restrained the woman, who admitted she was paid to smuggle the package, unaware of its contents. The terminal was

locked down, and hazmat crews secured the bag, later found to contain dangerous biological materials from illicit labs, destined for a secret European facility. Luna’s instincts thwarted a potential catastrophe. Her heroic act made headlines, with Andrei praising her as the airport’s silent protector. A routine patrol became a life-saving mission, driven by a dog’s unerring instincts.
