Do you know whose job is to stop food from going from one country to another? B-E-A-G-L-E-S(米格鲁猎犬)! Do you know why? Because these dogs love food. They are perfect for the job.
Beagles work at airports in a lot of countries, for example, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Their job is to sniff out(嗅出) food. These dogs have special noses. They can even smell food in bags or boxes. When a dog finds a bag with food inside, it sits in front of the bag. If the dog finds the food, the workers will give them something good to eat as a treat.

These working dogs should not be afraid of large groups of people or other dogs. They should not be afraid of loud noises. They should feel well when travelling in a car.
