The TSA’s four-legged workers play a crucial role in maintaining airport security, using their keen sense of smell to detect drugs and explosives.
And they are undeniably adorable.
The TSA is holding an online contest for its cutest dog, and voting began Monday and ends Tuesday.
The four finalists are Zita, a three-year-old German shorthaired pointer who works at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport; Dina, a German shorthaired pointer from Harry Reid International Airport; Zeta, a German shepherd from Tampa International Airport; and Joker-Jordan, a Belgian Malinois from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
You can cast a vote for your cutest canine on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Voting ends at midnight Tuesday on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
The TSA has more than 1,000 canines paired with handlers.
