Nature | National Geographic WILDback to FilmsBlue-Collar Dogs
Sometimes the best man for the job…is a dog.
They detect cancer, track smugglers on our borders, rescue victims of disaster and take a bite out of crime. BLUE-COLLAR DOGS is the new series for Nat Geo WILD that follows highly-trained, charismatic canines on the frontlines.
From pint-sized Poppy, the hypo-alert dog, to assistance dogs for the disabled, CANINE MD reveals the extraordinary new ways working dogs are expanding the human-canine relationship. BORDER HOUNDS goes on the job with the canines of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol as they hunt smugglers in the deserts and ports of entry along the country’s southern border. NEW YORK POLICE goes behind-the-scenes with the canine officers of the NYPD. From the bomb squad to catching criminals to urban search and rescue…this is one of the toughest gigs in town, which is why the best man for the job…is a dog.

- "They work hard, but not for the money. They're loyal, but they can't speak. They're dogs, and they all have careers special enough to be featured in Nat Geo Wild's three-hour event, Blue-Collar Dogs, which airs Monday.."
