After years of sniffing out danger and protecting the traveling public, K9 Ari is barking goodbye to the 9-5 and trotting into retirement. He’s joining his brother K9 TTirado, who has been enjoying retirement since 2020!
Ari’s nose knows no bounds, and he’s been unbe-leash-ably good at his job. From the high-stakes arena of the Royal Rumble to the nail-biting showdown of the Super Bowl, and back home to the Indianapolis International Airport (IND), K9 Ari has been the ulti-mutt paw-fessional. Even if it was a ruff day, he always brought his A-game (A for Ari, of course).
Now it’s time for long walks just because, belly rubs on-demand, and a strict schedule of snacks, snoozes, and squirrel surveillance.
Enjoy your retirement Ari! You’re a fur-st class K9 and earned every nap and nibble.
