About this book
Sampson, a lively former shelter dog with an endless love for balls, is trained to sniff out the scat of wild animals, turning his boundless energy into a valuable tool for scientists studying endangered species. As a member of a wildlife detective team, he helps researchers collect fecal samples without having to trap or lure the animals, providing clues about diet, health, and population trends. The story follows Sampson on missions ranging from salamanders to bears, showing how his nose can accomplish what traditional methods cannot. Through his work, the book demonstrates how a high-energy pup can make a big difference in conservation efforts.
