You can read more about Jenny here.

TL;DR: Jenny the Boykin spaniel helps search for ornate box turtles at the Conservancy’s Nachusa Grasslands Preserve in Central Illinois. The dogs find more turtles in 2-3 hours than humans would in a week. The dogs are very gentle, and they carry the turtles without injuring them. The turtles are tracked and tested for preservation purposes.
