The Transportation Security Administration shared a link to this year's 15 winners that were chosen out of over 1000 of its explosive detection dogs honored across the United States this year to take part in their "Paws-itively Cute" annual canine calendar.

Each dog is more adorable than the last!

The ABC7 morning show shared the story to Facebook and in a press release the TSA explains that each dog trains for 16 weeks at the TSA Canine Training Center in San Antonio. After meeting their handlers, they are trained to adapt to "busy transportation environments" and "learn their craft of detecting a variety of explosive odors before reporting to their duty stations." .

The 2024 TSA Canine Calendar features photos and fun facts about each of this year’s 15 canine winners who were selected from dozens of entries submitted by TSA canine teams from across the country.

January's pup is a gorgeous Belgian Malinois named Gina-Gina who loves sunbathing, chasing birds and playing in the snow. March is a German Shorthaired Pointer who loves to sleep. Typical dog if you ask me! September's pup is Zetra, a german Shepherd who lives by the motto "Look like a beauty, train like a beast!" All these dogs are just too cute and such hard workers. You just can't pick a favorite.
