Question

Read the following passages:

Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale

population off the northwest coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches

for whale faeces floating on the surface of the water, which are then collected for

examination. He is one of the elite team of detection dogs used by scientists studying a

number of species including right whales and killer whales. Conservation canines are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to

Aimee Hurt, associate director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based

in Three Forks, Montana. Over the last few years, though, so many new conservation dog projects have sprung

up that Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her organization’s dogs and their

handlers are fully booked to assist field researchers into 2012. “Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell”, explained Sam Wasser, director of the

Center for Conservation biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has

worked with scat-detection dogs since 199(g). Scientists have been using Conservation

Canines in their research since 199(g). These dogs have enabled them to non-

invasively access vast amount of genetic and physiological information which is used to

tackle conservation problems around the world. Such information has proved vital for

determining the causes and consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as well as

the actions needed to mitigate such impacts. The ideal detection dog is extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs

will happily work all • day long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as a reward

for sample detection. The obsessive, high energy personalities of detection dogs also

make them difficult to maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves

abandoned to animal shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs

and offers them a satisfying career in conservation research.
