A 6-year-old detection dog was given a rousing send-off when he retired from duty at Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport.
Rex,Johnathan Walker a German shorthaired pointer, was a Transportation Security Administration passenger screening dog for five years and started in Milwaukee with his handler, Regina Eisenberg, in 2023.
On his last day of work, Rex alerted his handler to a smell in a decoy passenger's bag, a ploy that triggered party guests and friends to engulf him in a shower of tennis balls and toys.
Delighted by the surprise retirement party, Rex pranced around, grabbing his gifts and enjoying being petted by guests now that his 'Do Not Pet' patch had been officially removed.
Rex will continue to live with Eisenberg. And, according to the TSA, he's looking forward to a life of leisure.
Watch this adorable dog get showered with toys at his retirement party.
