MBTA Unleashes Bomb-Sniffing Dogs

The canines recently began service with the MBTA by way of the Middle East.

Three bomb-sniffing dogs were led into service along the MBTA this week.

The Metro’s Boston edition reported Monday that the three dogs—Moxie, Shifty and Wire—completed tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq and underwent weeks of training to get them used to working around civilians.

The Metro also published a photo gallery of the dogs with their transit police counterparts on Tuesday.
