Hello all!
I personally love reading articles about how man's best friend is contributing to conserving some of the world's most imperiled species. I just came across this article talking about how Belgian Malionese dogs are being used in anti-poaching efforts in Assam, which is a critical area in India for rhinos, elephants and tigers. Do you know of any new examples of working dogs for conservation being used? Do you have any thoughts on seeing how a working dog could be useful in your work?
