The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) says one of its detector dogs recently sniffed out twenty-two kilograms of raw meat in luggage at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The meat, which included raw duck, pigeon, chicken and rabbit, was found in a traveller’s luggage arriving at Pearson from Egypt on March 8, 2026.
The CBSA posted a photo of detector dog, Dharla, posing beside the haul.
