Jasper next to cache of confiscated produce (and salami)

“The U.S. Customs and Border Protection says its beloved beagle Jasper, an eight-year-old service dog, is retiring after nearly six years working on the front lines of John F. Kennedy Airport customs, where he spent his career sniffing out animal and plant contraband. … Though his working days are done, Jasper isn’t saying goodbye to everyone. He has been adopted by his handler CBP Agriculture K-9 Specialist Amanda Tripple.”
