I just learned about a program that uses high energy rescue dogs to conduct biological research. No, not research on the dogs themselves! The dogs conduct the research. They sniff out the scat of endangered species, from salamanders to elephants, that biologists use to learn more about them. It's the Conservation Canines of the Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington. Here is a link to a neat video explaining their grizzly bear research in Jasper National Park and showing the dogs at work. Conservation Canines

This is a great program for the dogs, the scientists, and the animals they study.
