How long do airport dogs work?

When a flight lands at the airport, the dogs will work among the passengers and their luggage. Each dog only works for about 30 minutes in an hour. When a dog gets tired, they rest until the next flight, and another dog takes over. During the day, dogs are allowed time to exercise and play with other dogs outside.
