I had an amazing day out in the bush with John and Mr Seff the kiwi dog.

Mr Seff can follow the scent of a kiwi to where they are, instead of having to try to find them by radio tracking and looking in all of the places they could be.

She is also useful at finding birds whose radio transmitters have fallen off. Mr Seff is also good at helping John to find new kiwis.

Mr Seff would never try to hurt a kiwi (she likes sniffing them out and being praised too much!) but just in case she always wears a muzzle over her mouth when she is working.

This is John with a kiwi. Mr Seff found it's burrow then waited patiently outside the burrow until we got there.

I want a dog like Mr Seff, but it would be hard work to train him!
