wild hope

Dogs are often thought of as humans' best friends. But in Australia, they're also allies of other species. Canine conservationists and their sensitive noses are sniffing out dwindling populations of koalas as the iconic marsupial's habitat is fragmented by urbanization and wildfires. Dogs are also helping scientists eliminate invasive foxes that devastate native sea turtle populations.
