Do you know whose job is to stop food from going from one country to another? B-E-A-G-L-E-S (米格鲁猎犬)! Do you know why? Because these dogs love food. They are perfect for the job.
Beagles work at airports in a lot of countries, for example Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Their job is to sniff out food. These dogs have special noses. They can even smell food in bags or boxes. When a dog finds a bag with food inside, it sits in front of the bag. If the dog finds the food, the workers will give them something good to eat.
These dogs don’t live in a house because the food in houses distracts (干扰) them. Their noses are very important. Living away from people helps to protect their noses.
These working dogs should not be afraid (害怕的) of large groups of people or other dogs. They should not be afraid of loud noises. They should feel well when travelling in a car.
Next time when you’re at an airport and see police dogs, don’t play with them. They are busy. They’re working to keep us safe.
