78% Informative

Freddie is one of six dogs on the sharp-nosed Beagle Brigade patrolling Washington Dulles International Airport in Dulles , Virginia .

He has tracked down citrus, mangos and other fruits, as well as a variety of meats: cane rat , pigeon and, in September , two pounds of snake from Equatorial Guinea .

Freddie was found walking down a traffic median in Georgia about four years ago and was brought to a training program run by the USDA .

Agents have seized a whole side of a cow cut into quarters; half a raw smoked fish filled with maggots.

Often the seizures are traditional comfort foods for immigrant communities.

“Most of it is they either think they can’t get it here or it’s just a taste of home they desperately want.”.
