“When My Guide Dog Went Through Security, The TSA Officer Surprised Me”

Traveling as a blind person can be stressful. My guide dog is not just my eyes but also my source of comfort, so airport security always makes me nervous.

That day, something unexpected happened.

A TSA officer approached us calmly, explaining he’d do a routine check on both me and my dog. I was worried—what if my dog got anxious?

But the officer was so patient, speaking softly and moving slowly. My dog stayed calm, as if he understood it was just a routine.

It made me smile—my dog passed through security just like I did.

To some, it might seem like a small thing, but to me, it showed true professionalism. The officer didn’t just follow the rules—he treated us with kindness and respect. I’ll always remember that moment.
