Police officers have dogs that can detect if a person is carrying drugs. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a dog that can detect toads – high mountain toads that are endangered.

Boreal toads live in high elevations in the West, at an elevation of around 8,000 to 10,000 feet. They’re unique because they can survive in mountain creeks and ponds, despite the climate.

Boreal toads are about the size of a golf ball, with spots on their stomachs. They are currently dwindling in numbers, and can sometimes be elusive. That’s where Cash, the K9, comes in.
