The longest-serving passenger-screening explosives-detection canine at Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, celebrated his retirement with a bunch of his favorite toys on April 19, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said.

This footage, released by Lisa Farbstein, a TSA Spokesperson, captures Messi, an 8-year-old yellow Lab, sniffing his final bag before being “showered with dozens of his favorite toys.”

The official Reagan Airport account wrote on X: “How exciting and well-deserved for all of his service! We only wish Messi all the best for the next chapter in his life!”

Messi worked at the airport since 2018, according to local reports. Credit: Transportation Security Administration via Storyful
