At Otopeni Airport\u2019s Terminal D, Luna\u2019s instincts flared\u2014her ears perked, and her tail stiffened as she fixated on a woman with a baby stroller. Sensing trouble, Andre approached. Luna, never wrong, sniffed the stroller and growled, ignoring Andre\u2019s command to back off\u2014a first in their partnership.<\/p>\n

These materials posed a catastrophic risk if released. Thanks to Luna\u2019s sharp instincts, a potential disaster was averted, proving her invaluable role in protecting countless lives.<\/p>\n
