On a frantic Saturday evening, in the transit area of Terminal B at Otopeni International Airport, many people were rushing to capture the last flights.
Amid all the fuss, Lena, a volunteer with the canine control team, was making her rounds alongside Rex, a German Shepherd trained to spot dangerous substances and hidden persons.
At one point, her gaze fell on a plain brown suitcase, which appeared to be uninhibited
near a corner wall, just a few meters from the boarding gate. She paused suddenly, and Rex pulled back. The very next second, the dog moved quickly toward the bag, sniffing fiercely, and then sat down next to it, sobbing softly.
