The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may take away (your oversized liquids), but it also gives back. This year agency is gifting travelers a free calendar full of pictures of its most adorable officers. According to the TSA, the calendar is “an annual tradition that honors the agency’s more than 1,000 explosives detection canines working across the United States.”

The animal officers are highly trained but also very cute, so get your free calendar now. The calendar can be downloaded and printed directly from the TSA’s website. The calendar features photos and fun facts about 15 working dogs.

This year’s calendar cover model is the 2023 Cutest Canine Contest winner, Dina, a 3-year-old German Shorthaired who works at at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. According to the calendar, “Dina is an attention-seeking dog at her core. Her favorite places include anywhere in the sun.”

The calendar features reminders for federal holidays, non-traditional holidays (like “take your dog to work day”), and birthdays of each canine officer pictured.

Hints from the TSA are scattered throughout as well, such as “Traveling for spring break? Pack any sunscreen over 3.4 ounces in your checked baggage,” which is helpfully marked on March 9.
