Find it ! shouts Julie . Sampson is ready . The big black lab mix prances through dust , sand , scrubby brush , and cactus .
With his tail wagging madly and leash trailing to one side , Sampson sniffs the air .
He darts right
and then dashes left .
He busts through a patch of low shrubs and over straggly vines before slowing . He woofs once , then plops down and stays still .
Julie rushes over and stabs a tiny ( practically microscopic ) half grain of black rice with a toothpick before putting it into a plastic bag .
Good boy ! Julie praises , and rewards her mutt by tossing him his most favorite thing in the world a red ball .
Of course , that speck of rice isnt actually rice . Its poop Pacific pocket mouse poop . Its a really big deal that Sampson has discovered it . Not long ago , Pacific pocket mice were believed extinct . Rediscovered in 1993 , they were placed on the endangered animal list a year later . The only place in the world these mini mice can be found is in California , and scientists want to learn more about them .
But first , they have to find them .
Sampson is part of a wildlife detective team . He and a few other dogs have been trained as super pooper snoopers . These poop-sniffing pups help scientists track endangered animals .
If the dogs locate the poop , ( called scat ), scientists dont need to lure and trap these animals . They can learn much of what they need to know by investigating the scat . Its a great way to learn about wildlife with much less stress and bother to the animals .
Its not easy to be a pooper snooper . These are not tracking dogs , nose to the ground , following the scent . Pooper snoopers sniff the air to locate one scent in one place . It takes the right kind of dog with the right personality . One of Sampsons puppy pals flunked out of school . He couldnt ignore the quails and bunnies long enough to complete training .
These dog detectives also work long hours , sometimes in difficult conditions . In the case of the pocket mice , not only are their scat super small ( about one-third the size of an eyelash ); their habitat is sandy .
Sand easily blows through the air and over the scat when disturbed . Sampson must be extra cautious not to step in the poop , blow it away with his breath , or get it stuck on the end of his wet nose .
Like most pooper snoopers , Sampson was once a shelter dog , too hyper and ball crazy for families . Yet that energy and ball drive is exactly what makes him such a good dog detective . He is trained on many species , from salamanders to bears , but his goal is always the same .
Find the scat and get the ball .
Before scientists figured out how to use poop-finding pups to find pocket mouse scat , teams of experts shifted sand with tweezers looking for nearly microscopic scat without much luck . Then along came Sampson .
Julie trained him to find Pacific pocket mice poop among the poop of six other kinds of similar mice . His findings have helped scientists discover that these mice have not disappeared . They are just very good at hiding .
Pacific pocket mice are one of kinds of the petite pocket mouse . Its one of the smallest and most endangered species in the U.S. The mouse , which would easily fit into your hand , only weighs as much as a coin . Their pockets are cheek pouches that the mice fill with seeds while hunting for food . Despite their wee size , pocket mice are important to the environment .
They are considered a keystone species because they can change the ecosystem where they live by breaking up the earth and scattering seeds as they burrow . If there were no more pocket mice , the coastal California landscape might look much different than it does today .
