This nonfiction book for middle readers examines the lives of dogs who work with humans to find new ways to solve environmental problems. Included are stories and examples of dogs working in the field to conserve wildlife.|With their precise sense of smell, their hardworking temperament and their ability to bond with humans, dogs increasingly lend their paws and noses to fixing some of the most complex environmental problems on the planet. The story of these conservation canines celebrates the profound and ancestral human–animal bond, and gives hope and inspiration to children in finding new ways for people to successfully co-exist with wildlife.
