A assistance dog at the airport began to whine to get the officer’s attention, and when they opened the suitcase, they were shocked by what they found.
The assistance dog, Ralph, was walking calmly around the airport complex with his handler, a sergeant. Realizing that this was not just a four-legged friend but an expert who could recognize danger in an instant, people moved courteously aside.
As they passed the freight terminal, Ralph abruptly stopped. He began to glare and complain at the sergeant after he froze. The dog’s muzzle was pressed up against a large black luggage. The package was placed in temporary storage until further transportation could be arranged.
The sergeant said, “Frown.”Ralph has always been right. With caution, the dog circled the case and then jumped on top of it, whining again and focusing on one spot.

She whispered, “Anna.” I’ll be visiting my mother soon, according to my uncle.
It was later discovered that Anna was being smuggled out of the country for illegal adoption. The package was identified as a “sculpture for a museum.”
Almost no attention has been paid to the materials. Only Ralph realized that what was inside wasn’t just an item; he was able to experience breath, fear, and life.
Ralph became a heroic figure. Anna was not hurt.
