U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers hosted a retirement party for CBP narcotics dog "Milky" at the International Falls Port of Entry. Milky started working with his partner, CBP Officer Pete Benedix, in 2012 and they were assigned to the International Falls Port of Entry. In his five-year career, Milky participated in multiple narcotics seizures.
From the article:
"CBP employs dogs as long as they can successfully perform and meet workload requirements. The service career of a detector dog will typically last no longer than eight years. 'Milky' was adopted by his CBP K-9 handler and partner. This ensures that 'Milky' will have a loving and comfortable life for his golden years in retirement."
