The Maine Warden Service K9 team brings missing persons to safety and helps protect natural resources. When these highly trained pups are not working, they can be found doing normal dog things, like chasing balls and looking for treats.

The K9 team has created a podcast series as a way for the handlers to share the outdoor experiences they’ve encountered with their four-legged partners.

In the Running with the K9s mini Fish + Game Changers podcast series, Katie chats with K9 Corporal Lucas Bellanceau, Landowner Relations Corporal Dave Chabot, and Warden Kris MacCabe to learn what they do and how they train.
