Wesley Romero+FollowRescue Dogs Are Now Pest Detectives!Shelter pups in Mexico are getting a wild new gig: sniffing out flesh-eating screwworms! These rescue dogs are being trained to detect this nasty pest that’s been wreaking havoc on livestock and even humans. With cases skyrocketing, officials hope these canine heroes can help stop the spread. Bonus: the U.S. is pitching in with a $51M project to fight the bugs, too. Who knew dogs could be the secret weapon against invasive species? #Pets #dogswithjobs #invasivespecies511Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDogs Are Now Bee Detectives?!Did you know researchers are using dogs to sniff out endangered bumblebee nests? The rusty patched bumblebee is super rare and hard to find, but these clever pups are on the case. Labs like Ernie and Betty White have already found 18 nests (just not the right bee yet). The wild part? One of the few known nests was in a backyard full of native plants—proof that your garden could be a pollinator paradise! #Bumblebees #Conservation #DogsWithJobs #Science240Share
