"If you discovered all this in a suitcase, wouldn't you be this happy?"
That's what Customs and Border Protection joked after K-9 Maisy sniffed out a suitcase arriving from Thailand packed with nearly 100 pounds of prohibited meat, plants and wildlife products.
Officers say the luggage was stuffed with raw meat, mangoes, garlic, bamboo, banana plants and even a Bengal monitor lizard — a large, powerful reptile native to South and Southeast Asia that can grow more than five feet long. The lizard was turned over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Officials say agriculture detector dogs like Maisy help stop invasive pests, animal diseases and illegal wildlife from entering the U.S.
