At the Airport, a Service Dog Suddenly Stopped at a Stroller — What Happened Next Was Unbelievable
The service shepherd DOG LUNGED at the baby stroller in the airport. What was inside left everyone frozen
Grayish hues were reflected over Terminal D at Otopeni Airport by the cold fluorescent bulbs. With the awareness that comes from years of experience, Officer Andre scanned the crowd.

He was accompanied by Luna, a large German Shepherd with bright eyes and a shiny coat. They had been an unbreakable unit for three years.
In her entire life, Luna has never made a mistake.
Andrei’s eyes moved from person to person, taking in motions, gestures, and responses. He was an expert in the game.
However, something changed that evening.
Luna came to a sudden halt. Her tail straightened, her ears pricked, and she stared at a woman pushing a stroller while holding a baby in a light blue blanket.
The dog sniffed the air with exceptional intensity as its nostrils expanded. Then suddenly she let forth a low, menacing growl from her throat.

Andrei immediately saw the movement.
The terminal clamor seemed to fade like a dream as the air seemed to thicken around them. The woman, a thin brunette with pale skin and swollen eyes, clung frantically to the handle of the stroller and stumbled:
Remove the dog off my infant!
Luna, however, refused to comply. She disregarded her handler’s orders for the first time in her professional life.
With incredible speed, she jumped at the stroller and slammed her massive paws into the plastic frame. Everyone was astounded by what appeared when the blue cover peeled off.
Beneath the baby blanket was no newborn. Rather, a thermal bag was firmly sealed and nestled between the pillows.
It was labeled with biological hazard indicators and in Chinese and Russian. Inside, gleaming canisters were seen, releasing a strong chemical odor.

Andrei responded right away. While Luna remained still and stared at the contents of the pram, he took the woman by the arm and pulled her away.
To get in touch with the anti-terrorist unit, another cop rushed out.
— What is this? The child is where? — Andrei shouted as tears welled up in the woman’s eyes.
In between sobbing, she shook her head and muttered:
The infant wasn’t there. I should get it past security, I was told. I have no idea what’s inside.
The area was secured in a matter of minutes.
The terminal was overrun by emergency response teams, and professionals wearing protective gear handled the suspected shipments carefully.
The goal of the following inquiry was to find a global network that trafficked biological items that were illegal.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the packages included experimental materials that were headed for a covert facility in Western Europe and had been taken from illicit laboratories in Asia.
Experts cautioned that if the substances were accidentally or purposely released, they may have caused a biological catastrophe.
The woman had been lured in with the promise of quick cash. She consented to smuggle a “discreet package” across the border, claiming it was a sleeping infant, even though she had no idea what she was transporting.
The tale of Luna spread throughout the nation. Photographs of Officer Popescu and the courageous dog were broadcast on all television networks that evening.
People applauded the four-legged hero’s bravery, claiming that her incredible instincts prevented a major catastrophe.

Andrei shifted and then said:
That night, Luna was more than just a service dog. She was the angel of protection for a whole airport and perhaps all of Europe.
That night, thousands of lives were saved by a routine check.
