Luna, sensing the shift in mood, relaxed, her tail wagging gently. Andrei gave her an affectionate pat, grateful for her instincts and the resolution of what could have escalated into a far more serious incident.

As the crowd dispersed, reassured that there was no danger, the woman thanked Andrei and the officers profusely, relief washing over her. The incident, though startling, had ended with understanding and empathy, a testament to the importance of vigilance and the profound bond between officer and service dog.

As the woman wheeled the stroller away, still clutching her father’s legacy, Luna watched her go, her eyes following the stroller until it disappeared into the bustling airport crowd. For Andrei and Luna, it was just another day at work, serving and protecting with unyielding dedication.
