After nearly a decade of service, Military Working Dog (MWD) FFarah is finally hanging up her leash and gearing up for retirement!

From Pup to Pro
From day one, FFarah was groomed for greatness by the Puppy Development Specialists at the 341st Training Squadron.
Then, for a brief stint, FFarah lived the good life with foster parents Brandon and Lora Harrist.
The Momma Phase
But wait, it gets better!
FFarah was recruited for the MWD Breeding Program in March 2016.
She even had her own little pup, LLaredo.
On Duty
Fast forward to November 30, 2018, when FFarah officially became a certified patrol and explosive detection dog.
From there, it was all action as she got assigned to Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana.
This pup was on a mission, clocking in over 2,000 hours of explosive detection and making sure everything was on lockdown.
Making History
FFarah wasn't just any ol' dog on duty.
She was there for some major moments, like sweeping routes and venues for the President, Vice President, and other big shots during the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.
Farewell, FFarah
After a decade of keeping us safe, FFarah is bidding us adieu.
Her retirement marks the end of an era, but her legacy will live on. And don't worry, she's not off to some random shelter.
Nope, her handler, Staff Sgt. Kalib Murthy, is taking her home to live out her days in style.
Treats, cuddles, and lazy days ahead—sounds like the perfect retirement plan for a hero like FFarah!
