Do-Good Dogs Fight Invasive Mussels on Team 'Conservation Canines'

Reported byYahoo News Canada ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Alberta's conservation canine program now includes 11 inspection stations across the province with three working dogs (Hilo, Jane, and Winnie) detecting invasive mussels before they establish in Alberta's waterways, preventing ecological and economic damage from species that have ravaged the Great Lakes since the 1980s.

Worth noting

The dogs complement human inspection; they do not replace it.
