Grand Canyon adds new dog to help reduce wildlife interactions with visitors

Each year, there are dangerous encounters between Grand Canyon visitors and wildlife such as elk.

So the park created a new program to reduce these interactions, with the introduction of their newest employee, Blue, the Catahoula dog.

Around 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon, and wildlife biologist Brady Dunne said people get too close to wildlife."Every time someone calls for an incident, I'm the one who responds," said Dunne.
