Pup on patrol: this dog helps prevent dangerous collisions between aircraft and wildlife

In response to a call from the tower, Brian Edwards calls his dog, Piper, as he heads toward the truck. "'In the truck, Piper is like a bull ready to charge,' says Edwards. As they approach the flock of seagulls on the runway, he opens the door and Piper leaps out 'like a missile.' Piper sprints straight toward the flock, chasing all of the gulls away so it's again safe for airplanes to take off and land at the airport."
