Don’t let the dog hit you on the way out!

An Egyptian man trying to smuggle over 100 pounds of food through Dulles Airport punted a CBP beagle into the air when the pup sniffed out the scam, resulting in the creep’s deportation, the agency announced.

Customs and Border Protection Brigader Beagle Freddie, 5, caught the whiff of something suspicious coming from the luggage of Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, 70, who arrived at the Washington, DC, airport from Cairo on Tuesday, CBP said in a release.

As the detector dog alerted his handlers to Marie’s bags, the 70-year-old violently kicked Freddie with enough power to lift the 25-pound beagle into the air, the release stated.

CBP officers then took Marie down, placed him in custody, and turned him over to Homeland Security officials.

While inspecting the dog-kicker’s luggage, CBP officers found enough undeclared sundries to start a restaurant including 55 pounds of beef, 44 pounds of rice, 15 pounds of eggplant, two pounds of corn seeds, cucumbers, bell peppers, and one pound of herbs.

“Being caught deliberately smuggling well over one hundred pounds of undeclared prohibited agriculture products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenseless Customs and Border Protection beagle,” Christine Waugh, CBP’s Area Port Director for the Area Port of Washington, D.C., said in the release.

Marie pleaded guilty to harming animals used in law enforcement, a federal crime, during an appearance in US District Court and was sent packing on a flight back to Egypt at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, CBP stated.

Why do we give beagles the toughest, least appreciated, jobs?

We are Americans.

You can kick our men, women and children but do not touch our dogs.
