The dog has been trained to find Kincaid's lupine, a rare (threatened) native plant closely associated with the Fender's Blue (endangered) butterfly, which uses the plant as a place to lay its eggs and later as a food source. With grants from the Disney Foundation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, David has trained five Belgian sheepdogs to sniff out specific plants in this critical research.
