Interesting story from the past.
The Revelator reported
The quest to save a rare pollinator from extinction has just gained an unlikely ally: a mutt named Filson.
A six-year-old Australian cattle dog mix with black and tan fur and oversized ears, Filson will soon join the mission to find the endangered Franklin’s bumblebee (Bombus franklini). The fuzzy pollinator, which no one has observed in 15 years, became a federally protected species this summer.
