Eebers, the top (and cutest) K9 at the TSA, is retiring after 10 years.
The bomb-sniffing visla-lab mix was the oldest working dog in the TSA. He was also recently crowned the winner of the agency's cutest K9 contest.
Eebbers’ handler Jean Carney also is retiring. "He was born to do this. His ability to search out his trained odors amazes me every day," Carney told CBS affiliate WCCO.
Eebbers and Carney were showered with gifts and cake on their last day at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. They also received commemorative plaques.
Carney says their first retirement plan is to go swimming in Iowa's Lake Okoboji
"I was just ready for him to be a dog. I just wanted him to enjoy the last few years just being a dog."
