A scat-sniffing dog by the name of Pinkerton may be the best friend ever for a small, highly elusive group of endangered monkey and gibbon species now scrambling for survival in the vanishing forests of a remote Chinese mountain range. Pinkerton, a high-energy Belgian Malinois, is proving to be a critical player in research aimed at preserving both the black-crested gibbon and the Phayre's leaf monkey, says Joseph Orkin, a graduate student in anthropology now studying the endangered primates for a doctoral dissertation in Arts u0026 Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. https://source.wustl.edu/2012/10/scatsniffing-dog-helps-save-endangered-primates/
