Even Dogs Get 15 Minutes of Fame

Well, 6 minutes, 26 seconds anyway.

National Public Radio broadcast a story about conservation detection dogs this week which, in part, featured a couple of the Obsidian Belgians.  NPR science reporter Adam Cole first met me on a wet field where I was training Knife to find western pond turtle nests during December 2011.  The photos for the NPR website were taken by Portland photographer, Rob Finch, while I was using Rogue to find turtle nests at the East Thornton Lake Natural Area.  Sharpy was there too getting some foundation training in detection work.  The story can still be heard at the NPR website:
