A 5-year-old German Shepherd is Richmond airport's new bomb-sniffing dog

What's happening: Hary is a 5-year-old German Shepherd who, along with his handler Kyle Smith, trained for 12-weeks — Hary to sniff for the smell of explosives, Kyle to read Hary's alerts.

• When Hary's not on duty, he lives with Kyle.

Be smart: RIC hasn't used bomb-sniffing dogs in nearly a decade. The airport brought them back this year due to the record-breaking post-pandemic travel out of RIC and with federal funding, per the Times-Dispatch.

• Hary and Kyle came to Richmond from Charlotte where they spent two years working, and Nashville before that.

What's next: RIC plans to add two more K-9 teams in the coming months.
