Border Patrol Dog Retires After Stopping More Than 400 Pounds Of Illegal Drugs From Entering US
He gave drug dealers a ruff time.
A Border Patrol dog named Milan is retiring after an impressive career where he stopped more than 400 pounds of
illegal drugs from entering the US.
The 8-year-old German Shepherd sniffed out more than 122 pounds of marijuana, 253 pounds of cocaine, 45 pounds of ecstasy and 5 pounds of meth at the ports of Miami during his six-year career.

Milan worked for six years with US Customs and Border Protection.
“He’s a wild dog,” Michael Schwank, his handler with
US Customs and Border Protection, told The Post.
“All he wanted to do was work.”
Schwank, who called Milan his work partner, said the duo found contraband on a quasi-daily basis, from small amounts of coke and ecstasy to gallons of drugs filled with liquid coke and meth.
“He worked long days in the hot sun and he did his job very well,” Robert Misseri, co-founder of
Paws of War, the Long Island-based organization helping to find Milan a new home, told The Post.
“He was a highly respected canine.”
Milan had to retire from USCBP when he started showing signs of intervertebral disc disease, a common condition in dogs where one or more of the discs between vertebrae in the spine become damaged. Schwank couldn’t adopt Milan, he said, because he’s got his hands full with two young children at home.
Paws of War, who pairs animals with veterans and first responders, is paying for Milan’s medical bills, now and in the future. It’s trying to find him a home with a current or former canine handler.
