This Dog Is A Bee Hero, Detecting Contagious Bee Disease & Warming Our Hearts

Klinker is the only dog in the United States whose nose is certified to detect American Foulbrood, an incredibly destructive and contagious bee brood disease that affects all the combs, wooden-wear, and equipment it can get to, and is generally horrible. In her downtime Klinker likes to sit on her giant dog bed, play with toys, and be a doggeh. Every hero needs her downtime.

Considering the importance of bees to the world, we should all be pretty grateful for Klinker. Also: We need more Klinkers.
