This K9 clocked out of work for the last time back in November 2025. Meet Boston’s retired TSA canine, Hunter. He’s now fulfilling his retirement mission of snacking and snoozing on repeat. With 9 pawsome years of service, this good boi deserves some serious relaxation.

Excited for this *and* the new edition of the book!
In this homestretch of 2025, please consider streaming The Best of the Best: Jazz from Detroit on Prime Video. Management knows you'll dig it for the musical fireworks provided by some of the greatest jazz musicians America has produced and the cultural history of the country's most soulful city.
