Sgt. Cynthia Mann of the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service is super impressed by her new partner. It's Major, a service detection dog that's skilled in detecting smells such as bear gall bladders, firearms, shell casings, zebra and quagga mussels.
While Major's job is to look for invasive mussels on boats traveling through and into B.C., he can also assist in detecting poached animals and illegal firearms during hunting season.
Mann says, “They are just incredible animals, and his drive blows me away. When I put on his harness and show him his toy, that dog switches everything off and he’s zoned into work.”
All that Major asks in return is his favorite toy and a "Good boy."
