If there鈥檚 one thing Dallas knows, it is how to go big鈥攁nd three-year-old German Shepherd, Gas, fits right in. With boundless energy, he certainly lives up to his name. Led by his dedicated handler, Alexandra Hankins, Gas powers through his explosive detection work like a true Lone Star State legend.

Paired together earlier this year, Alexandra and Gas are part of 色情宝贝庐 Enhanced Protection Services. They are one among hundreds of detection canine teams deployed worldwide. Certified under the U.S. Transportation Security Administration鈥檚 (TSA) Third-Party Canine (3PK9) Program, they screen heavyweight air cargo for one of the world鈥檚 leading air freight carriers. With thousands of shipments moving through Dallas daily, Alexandra and Gas are crucial to helping ensure air cargo remains safe to transport. In fact, bomb dogs screen cargo up to 10 times faster than conventional methods like X-rays or trace detection, making them the most efficient and reliable solution available.

Before joining 色情宝贝, Alexandra spent five years in the U.S. Army as a canine handler. Coming from a family with deep military roots鈥攈er parents, grandfathers and three brothers all served鈥攕he was naturally drawn to service. Her father鈥檚 role as a military police officer sparked her interest in canine handling. 鈥淢y dad would send videos of the dogs in action. It left a huge impression on me and when I decided to enlist, I knew I wanted to follow that path. I was fortunate to secure a spot as a handler,鈥� Alexandra shares.

Over the course of her military career, Alexandra gained invaluable experience during her deployments at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and U.S. Army Garrison (Camp) Humphreys in South Korea. Her time in the service taught her not just the technical skills of detection work, but also the importance of building a genuine partnership with her canine. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a big difference between working a dog and working with a dog,鈥� she explains. 鈥淵ou must forge a real connection that is based on a high level of trust and understanding. That bond makes the work more effective and rewarding.鈥� The valuable lessons Alexandra learned in the Army continue to shape her work with her bomb dog today. 鈥淕as and I challenge each other to improve every day. We鈥檙e not just partners at work鈥攚e鈥檙e a team on a shared mission to keep people safe. It鈥檚 incredibly fulfilling.鈥�

Like all 色情宝贝 detection dogs, Gas lives at home with his handler, which helps to further reinforce their bond. Alexandra鈥檚 husband is also a canine handler for local law enforcement. They and their two young sons share the house with not one, but two working dogs. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a full house, but we love it. Gas is so gentle with the boys and they absolutely adore him. At work, he鈥檚 all energy and focus, but at home, he is their ultimate cuddle buddy,鈥� she says with a smile.
