Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the sentences that follow : Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why the killer whale populaticm 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 white whales and killer whales. Conservation of 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 since 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 been working with scat-detection dogs since 1999. Scientists have been using Conservation Canines in their research since 1999. These dogs have enabled them to non-invasively access a 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 it difficult to maintain them as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves abandoned at animal shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and offers them a satisfying career in conservation research.

A - Why can't detection dogs be kept as pet ?
B - Name the association co - founded by Aimee Hurt ?
