Gears, 8 ½ yr old black Lab, was in very 1st class that graduated from #CIAK9 Training Center. Before we had our own training program, we trained at @ATFHQ.

Lucy, 9 yr old black Lab, spent 3 years traveling around the US promoting @PBBassociation, before joining CIA. She’s worked in challenging locations overseas 6 times, protecting lives & property for us.
Lucy & her new pal K9 Indigo love to play & roughhouse together.pic.twitter.com/enMcHxTdFo
Osmond, 9 yr old golden Lab, was one of the last CIA dogs to graduate from @ATFHQ program. He's won numerous K9 Explosive Detection awards & has served overseas many times. He’s a silly, sweet, loyal dog who is excited to share his home w his newest buddy, K9 Freya.pic.twitter.com/Uoo2O0OL7i
During the graduation ceremony, the handlers & their retiring dogs were presented with a CIA plaque & shadowbox containing photos, their badge, & other mementos in honor of their service to this country.pic.twitter.com/7FglpmYai6
Retired dogs sat quietly, heads held high, a wise calm much different than boisterous puppy antics displayed by the younger, soon-to-be K9 graduates. The crowd, made up of family, friends, & colleagues cheered for the veteran dogs as they were honored for their service.pic.twitter.com/qaSCCp2cfA
As new graduates were ready to receive official graduation certificates, veteran dogs & handlers made their way to the back of the room, where handlers changed leashes from their old partners to their new: a passing of the torch to next generation of CIA explosive detection K9s.pic.twitter.com/P9cYLjMuEB

That K9 has more tradecraft than Flynn.
Kara itin kakmarcısı.
Please God let this be true.
Genetically yes they are
the way it should be K9/handler connection is unparalleled
Thanks for your service guys. Enjoy your lives.
What beautiful oldtimers, and yes take good care of them.
They deserve lots of treats and fun days at the dog park. They’ve earned it!
