Eba is a mixed-breed rat terrier rescue dog with a special talent: at her job with the SeaDoc Society she can sniff out orca poop at 400 metres and lead researchers to the source for sampling purposes. Using these samples from Eba's Salish Sea study area, it's possible to determine if an orca is suffering effects from pollution, harmful algal blooms, stress or even determine whether a female in the pod is pregnant.
If you really want to fall down the RT rabbit hole, look at class A versus class B body type RTs.
The longer-bodied, shorter-legged class B rat terriers (also called Teddy Roosevelt terriers) tend to be more chill and social, whereas the class A are more terrier-forward and less social with strangers.
