A detector dog at Toronto Pearson Airport made an unusual discovery earlier this month. Dharla, a yellow lab, sniffed out 22.5 kilograms of raw meat that border officials then seized from the luggage of a traveller arriving from Egypt on March 8.

The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) posted a picture to social media on March 16 of Dharla sitting proudly next to her find—dozens of cuts of raw duck, pigeon, chicken, and rabbit.
