Roca, a four-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever, is trained to sniff out firearms and drugs coming into Canada at the Port of Osoyoos border crossing from Washington State. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is trying to raise awareness about the problem of illegal weapons coming into Canada. Most of these weapons are brought by Americans who don’t know the rules and sometimes forget they have guns in their cars. Only a minority of cases involve hard-core smugglers.
