These dogs are finding feces and saving endangered wildlife SEATTLE / CNN — Eba is more than just the Very Good Dog she appears to be, she’s a professional and tracking the scent of killer whale poop floating in Puget Sound. “It’s a three-being team,” said Deborah Giles, a dog handler with Conservation Canines and a biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “It’s a coordinated dance between the dog reacting to a scent, the handler being able to interpret that change in body behavior of the dog, and then the boat driver really being in tune with not only the dog and the handler, but also all of the other things associated with being on the water,” she added.
