Show Notes
At MPI’s detector dog centre in Auckland tiny pups can be found tumbling over each other playing to the sound of rumbling explosions and whooshing fireworks. In this podcast we meet an MPI dog care specialist who works with the pups to prepare them for work in busy, noisy environments. The pups will go on to run their noses over parcels at the International Mail Centre and bags in airports, to sniff out anything that could harm New Zealand’s primary industries. Hosted on Acast.
