Dogs Secret Tool to Save Wildlife

Jan 07, 2021 08:11 PM EST Aside from being faithful companions, dogs have also been known to be a valued ally for law enforcement; their keen senses can detect bombs, contrabands, and drugs, among many things. But, one dog from Montana chose a more serene career choice. Pepin, a Belgian Malinois from the Missouri River s headwaters in Montana, is a park ranger! Or, at least, he acts like one. Nonetheless, Pepin dedicates her life to aiding his partner Megan Parker, an ecologist. Parker and Pepin have been helping workers from conservations and wildlife sanctuary around the world. Not just in their native Montana.

Dogs put their noses to work saving wildlife

Grizzlies have been sighted in the area after many decades, and DNA from the scat would inform biologists and land managers working to recover this threatened species where they’re coming from. Pepin is a Belgian Malinois, a sleek race-car version of the more common German shepherd. Strong, self-assured, and intensely focused (a littermate was part of Seal Team 6’s takedown of Osama bin Laden), Pepin has trotted across Zambian savannas to find evidence of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and he’s pushed through lowland tropical rainforests in Myanmar searching out signs of wild elephants. His skill at sniffing out different animals’ dung has given conservationists a quick way to estimate those animals’ populations.
