Our K9s weren’t horsing around at the 152nd Kentucky Derby. Fourteen canine teams from 12 different cities helped keep the event galloping along. Their golden tempo kept fans, event staff, jockeys, and horses safe and secure. These super sniffers deserve their roses, too.

This is a pointed reminder: knives and blades, even those hidden in a hairbrush or comb, belong in a checked bag. We have too many people continuing to brush aside this information!
