Officer Andre and Luna, his loyal German Shepherd partner of three years, had never faced a moment like this.
At Otopeni Airport’s Terminal D, Luna suddenly locked eyes on a pale woman pushing a stroller. Her tail stiffened, ears alert. Andre trusted her instincts—Luna had never been wrong.
Approaching, Luna sniffed the blue blanket inside the stroller. Then, she growled low, refusing Andre’s command to step back—a first in their partnership. Instead, she pulled the blanket away, revealing not a baby but a thermal bag marked with Russian and Chinese labels and biohazard symbols.
Inside were strange-smelling containers. Andre detained the trembling woman, who claimed ignorance, saying she was paid only to transport it. The terminal was locked down as specialists removed the dangerous cargo.
The investigation exposed an international ring trafficking banned biological materials. Thanks to Luna’s instincts, a potential disaster was prevented before it could unfold.
