那些对人类来说”精力过于旺盛”的狗，最终命运如何？”你肯定见过这种狗——去朋友家烤肉，他们的狗高兴得见你就尿，还把一个沾满口水的球扔进你腿上，”野生动物生物学家、驻蒙大拿州博兹曼的犬类专家梅根·帕克（TEDxJacksonHole演讲：《保护犬》）说，”你把球扔出去，巴不得离它越远越好，可它一次次把球叼回来。等到第950次，你心里开始嘀咕：他们怎么不把这条狗送走？”主人们往往也会得出同样的结论，最终将爱犬遗弃在收容所。
得益于帕克和”保护工作犬”（WD4C）团队的努力，这些狗中的一些找到了新的人生舞台。它们将超凡的嗅觉能力和永不停歇的驱动力用于各种环保事业，与人类训导员携手合作，嗅出非法偷猎者和走私者、追踪濒危物种，并发现破坏性的入侵植物和动物。
