After wildfires leave forests bare, an unexpected team steps in border collies with a mission Wearing specially designed backpacks filled with native seeds, they run across the land, scattering new life with every step. Fast, agile, and tireless, these dogs are helping forests grow again one stride at a time.

I’m determined to make Hufflepuff a star. He made his @NewsNation debut.

She may be small, but her nose is doing some very big work.

During a single shift at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Merla, a member of the United States Department of Agriculture Beagle Brigade, detected 100 prohibited sandwiches hidden in travelers’ luggage.

Since 1984, the USDA’s Beagle Brigade has helped protect America’s agriculture and public health systems by detecting fruits, meats, plants, and other items that could carry dangerous pests or diseases.

With roughly 220 million scent receptors, beagles are uniquely suited for the job and their friendly demeanor makes them ideal ambassadors with the traveling public.

Cute? Absolutely.

Effective? Even more so.

Today Tilly passed her intial assessment. We've had a great course with the North West area search team. Looking forward to getting back home to the IOM now.

I post pictures of my property and the wildlife on it in Northern Maine.
I do not, and will not do this for money from X.
I do it so others can share in the beauty of this area.
If you enjoy these pictures, please consider reposting them so others can enjoy.
Thank you.

Your K9 partner forgets EVERY ounce of training the second he smells whipped cream in the Starbucks drive-thru 😂

“Rex trying to intimidate the pup cup makers…

Officer Coats is just trying to get coffee and his partner is over here conducting a full-on stare-down like the baristas owe him backpay.

Who else has a dog that turns into a dramatic diva for treats? My dog has never had a pup cup. 🤷🏼‍♀️

PD Bruce is bathed and ready for the National Police Dog Trials this week 🐾💥
PD Bruce is a dog with a loving personality off duty, but completely focused when it’s time to work. From training days to competition runs, he gives everything every single time along side his favourite person, his loving dad and handler PC Matt Van Bellen

Even better, Bruce be competing alongside his sister PD Mali this week, sibling rivalry at its finest 🐕

Mistakes were made

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Sophisticated drones attacked the US base where we store the nuclear bombers…

The drones:

* Had non-commercial signals
* Were resistant to jamming
* Came in waves of 12-15
* Swept over sensitive areas of the base
* Had long range control links
* Were more advanced than anything seen in Ukraine (Russian drones)
* Beyond Iranian capabilities

Over the multiple days of incursion, local residents heard explosions which Barksdale claimed was “weapons testing”

This is the second base incursion of a sensitive site IN THE US in the last 2 weeks.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

This is troubling. There weren't just drones, but waves of drones with their lights on that disrupted operations for several hours. B-52 launches for Iran had to be halted. The electronic warfare systems failed to work. This base is central to our nuclear triad.
