Meet the Orchid-Sniffing Superdog

A Belgian Malinois named DJ is Atlanta Botanical Garden’s secret weapon in the hunt for a super-rare orchid hiding underground. Instead of chasing bad guys, DJ uses his nose to sniff out endangered plants, earning tennis balls for every find. He once flunked out of police school for being too intense, but now he’s a hero to conservationists. DJ’s nose could help save an entire species and keep local ecosystems in balance. Who knew plant detectives could be this cute? #ConservationDog #EndangeredSpecies #OrchidHunter #Science
