The Sniffer Dog Using His Sense of Smell for Science用嗅覺探索科學的嗅探犬

【摘要2019.12.12.蘋果】

You’ve probably seen sniffer dogs in action before. Most commonly, they work at airports, catching the smell of illegal drugs or other items people aren’t allowed to bring into a country. Train, a retriever working in Argentina, however, seeks out something else entirely.

He’s helping his human coworkers locate endangered species. Train got his start looking for endangered animals because he had too much energy to be a sniffer dog. He needed to be outdoors, with plenty of room to run around.

你以前可能已經看過嗅探犬工作的樣子。牠們最常在機場工作，要注意違法毒品或人們不被允許攜進一個國家的其他物品的氣味。然而，一隻名為「 火車」在阿根廷工作的獵犬（又稱尋回犬）在尋找別種完全不一樣的東西。

牠在協助其人類同事找出瀕危物種的位置。火車以尋找瀕危動物為起步，因為牠精力過剩而無法擔任嗅探犬。牠需要待在有充分空間的戶外讓牠四處奔跑。
