An Egyptian man at an airport lashed out at a small beagle used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) during a baggage inspection, kicking the 25-pound dog hard enough to injure it. The traveler was hit with consequences—ordered to cover the dog's vet bills and surrender for deportation.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about an impulsive act of cruelty—it highlights the risks working animals face in high-stress environments like airports. The response also shows authorities taking animal welfare seriously, even when the offender is facing their own legal troubles. For travelers, it’s a reminder that actions have consequences, especially when they harm those just doing their jobs (yes, even the four-legged ones).
