CHICAGO - The U.S. government will employ more dogs to sniff out illegal pork products at airports and seaports in an effort to keep out a contagious hog disease that has spread across Asia and Europe, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday.
U.S. officials decided to ramp up their fight to avoid the virus after Vietnam confirmed its first cases last month, said Greg Ibach, USDA’s undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs. “They can detect those items that are prohibited from entering the United States when they walk around the airport doing their investigations with their noses,” Ibach said in a phone interview.
USDA established its detector dog program, known as the “Beagle Brigade,” in 1984, with one beagle trained to sniff out plants and animal products at Los Angeles International Airport, according to Customs and Border Protection.

Whitehouse needs checked for a hog first...just ask Melania
Then send them to 'No-Go' zones!
Any chance they can do Washington DC next? We have a few pigs there that have to be culled out..
Go beagles!
Hopefully this bolstering will result in fewer mass culls.
