The Inca Race
Inca he is 10 years old and has been working in the GEAR Prohibited Substances and Unauthorized Electronic Elements Detection Team for eight years.
The dog was selected as a puppy, precisely when she was 45 days old, to be trained by Rubén, who was her companion throughout her life.
“We played in our free time and that made our bond grow. I have many anecdotes, but one was when we were returning from an operation and I had to go in with her to make her stay to eat. Her relationship with me was so strong that she didn’t want me to out,” Rubén said to Chain 3.
“She is a dog to whom I am very grateful for everything she has given me, what she has given me. She has taught me many things that today I put into practice with other dogs. Thanks to her I am what I am today. To “It’s not just work for me, it’s a connection between both parties, between the dog and the handler. The look she has with me is something inexplicable,” he added.
The GEAR has a special endowment that currently has 29 dogs that are born, raised and trained in the same space. The training of canine agents is carried out based on the Sarmiento Animal Protection Law.

Regarding the training, Rubén specified: “It adapts to the behavior and behaviors that each of the dogs have. Not all dogs are born for the same task and we take advantage of their particularities.”
Since she was little, Inca stood out mainly in search and detection tasks. Therefore, the trainers and their guide dedicated themselves, in the years of training the dog, to enhancing these skills.
In turn, the bond between the companions and their dogs is essential for their effective and successful training: “The relationship is generated from the first steps that the dogs take and over time it becomes increasingly stronger,” Fernández highlighted.
Following this, his guide shared: “The trust I have with Inca is so deep that it is even difficult for me to put it into words, I consider it to be incomparable with any other bond.”
At the age of 2, Inca began his duties at GEAR, where he participated in countless operations and entire nights of work with your guide to guarantee the safety objectives of your team.
In that sense, Rubén recalled a particular operation in which, together with Inca, they traveled to the interior of the province of Córdoba.
There, the dog got lost among a large crowd of people. After a brief moment of uncertainty, Inca returned on her own into the hands of his partner Rubén, without losing his calm and demonstrating the rigor of the training of the dog division of the Penitentiary Service.

Retirement
The usual thing for a canine agent is that retire between 7 and 10 years, moment at which the dog reaches its first stages of old age. Once they reach this age, the animals are transferred to the homes of their companions who guided them from their first days of life.
In this sense, Rubén expressed: “Retirement implies a very big change for Inca’s life. From being in charge of carrying out numerous missions, she is going to live at home with me, where she can finally be calm and relax.”
However, the retirement of the 10-year-old dog challenges her companion: “Stopping working with Inca is like they were taking away a part of me. But I understand that the rest she so richly deserves has finally arrived. Maybe she will spend less time with her now, but love and affection will never be lacking in my house.
