Meet the Hero Dog Keeping Airports Safe

Piper, the airport K-9 wildlife control dog, is a true hero at Cherry Capital Airport, tirelessly working to keep the runway clear of animals. This four-legged guardian, captured in a photo with goggles on, ready for action, represents an innovative approach to ensuring airport safety.

Airports began using K-9 dogs for wildlife control in the early 21st century, recognizing their agility and acute senses as perfect for such a job. Piper has been exceptionally effective, chasing away birds and other wildlife that could pose a threat to aircraft during takeoff and landing. His dedication highlights working dogs’ invaluable role in maintaining our airports’ safety and efficiency.
