At a busy international terminal, travelers were going about their usual routines when a customs dog suddenly broke from its calm patrol and lunged into a baby stroller. People nearby froze. The parents looked on, stunned, as the dog began digging and sniffing furiously.

Security rushed over. The presence of a baby added weight to the moment—whatever the dog had picked up on, they had to handle it with extreme care.
