Police dog helps catch passenger with unusual items stuffed in bags at US airport

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently caught a South Korean passenger with "unusual haul", attempting to bring it into the country.

The traveller, intercepted at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, had items including raw sea cucumbers (a type of marine animal) and blood-soaked frogs, along with a few unidentified objects, raising serious concerns.

This was first discovered by K-9 Buckie, a specially trained police dog. CBP posted about the findings on July 26 on X, revealing that the items are now with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for identification.



"Ribbit'ing discovery! CBP agriculture specialists and K9 Buckie at FlySEA uncovered an unusual haul from a passenger arriving from South Korea: bloody frogs, raw sea cucumbers, and other unidentified items. These items are now with the USFWS for identification," read the side note.

CBP also posted two images, including the photo of the find and another featuring Buckie, an adorable yet sharp-nosed canine who helped CBP sniff out the suspicious items tucked away in the passenger's luggage.

Buckie has become an internet sensation after the discovery.

"Way to go, K9 Buckie!!! What is wrong with these people? I mean mentally. Bloody frogs and sea cucumbers. Who does that?" commented a user.

"Why would anyone travel with that? What nefarious deeds were they up to?" wondered another.

"Gross! What is wrong with these people and what diseases are they carrying around?!?" wrote a disgusted individual.

Buckie received a lot of love from social media users. The common sentiment was, "Good boy, Buckie." A dog lover wrote, "Hope Buckie got a treat for his good work!"
