TSA dog at DFW Airport voted top for 2026

State of play: Bolt is an intense worker with a big personality and a lot of energy, his handler Daphne Wang said in a statement.

• "It's definitely an adventure working with Bolt every day. There is nothing ordinary about him. He works hard and plays even harder," Wang says.

Context: Canine handlers from U.S. airports nominated 85 dogs who were whittled down to four finalists after an employee vote.

• Bolt and his canine colleagues on the explosives detection teams are highly trained to detect threats in busy, dynamic environments, TSA says.

The bottom line: "I am so happy he gets to show the world his quirky personality," Wang says.
