The dogs also bring a tremendous amount of positive public relations to the Department since they are expected to have a good temperament when interacting with members of the public. In April, 210 truckloads holding close to 25,000 steelhead smolts each were transported from three Magic Valley hatcheries and released into Snake River drainages.
