Alberta’s New Mussel Sniffing Dogs | Calgary News

Alberta’s mussel defense just got a sniff-worthy upgrade with two new canine heroes, Jane and Winnie, trained to detect zebra, quagga, and golden mussels—before they invade. Joining veteran K-9 Hilo, these dogs will patrol boats and shorelines where humans struggle to reach, helping protect Alberta’s pristine waters from invaders that can multiply into trillions in two years.
