Three detector dogs are being credited with intercepting 45 kilograms of undeclared meat, dairy and plant products at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Dharla, Olga and Theo detected the items in the luggage of three travellers arriving from Bangladesh, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said.

The agency shared a photo of the dogs and the intercepted products on social media on Wednesday.

While it is unclear whether the dogs received any extra treats for their work, the CBSA confirmed that the products were seized and that the travellers were issued a $1,300 fine.
