Two sniffer dogs have saved South-East Queensland from 12 underground water leaks across the year which could have otherwise gone undetected for years.
The two springer spaniels are set to be rewarded with games of catch after they “aced” their one year trial period with Queensland Urban Utilities and locked in their long-term employment detecting water leaks.
QUU spokeswoman Michelle Gull says the two dogs were a perfect match to work alongside existing detection technologies and the QUU repair teams, saving valuable time and “thousands of dollars.”
