Dogs With Jobs

S03:E06 - Episode 32

Lucy: Bear Detective (New Denver, B.C.) As a Bear Ranger, Lucy’s job is to keep people out of bear territory. If she and her owner, bear biologist Wayne McCrory, find evidence of bears on a hiking trail, they know that the bears have chosen it as their own highway. That means it’s time to move the trail. Harvey: Seizure Alert Dog (Surrey, England) Harvey, a little terrier in a yellow coat, has changed Gillian’s life. She’s epileptic and Harvey can detect her seizures 15 minutes before they happen, giving Gillian time to get to safety. Her new sense of security has allowed her to resume an active life. Chokydar: Thespian (Stratford, Ontario) Chokydar, a chocolate Lab, has appeared on stage across Canada. She’s now performing at the world-renowned Stratford Festival as Eleonora, a Russian estate dog in Chekhov’s The Seagull. Despite knee problems and a touch of arthritis, Chokydar loves performing, and always manages to keep things fresh.
