Espionage Rescue Dogs:
Watch Out James Bond
This show will discuss a very unique way for dogs, including rescue dogs, to contribute to the community. Most assisted canine therapy dogs venture into visiting nursing homes, children with needs organizations, or educational institutions. But for Anthony Silva, he takes them down the 007 route. These dogs get to become law enforcement agents to sniff out the very things we run away from including: narcotics, bombs, even bed bugs. Let's listen to the stories of our 007 canine friends and what we don't see in everyday life!
