Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs - World Forestry Center Discovery Museum
Never before shown in the Pacific Northwest, the exhibit sniffs out the facts on dogs and explores what makes their relationship with humans so unique. The hands-on, interactive components use our familiarity and love of our four-legged friends to explore science and biological concepts. Visitors can enter a “howling” area, guess what other dogs are saying, test their human noses against an extraordinary sense of smell of a dog’s nose, and climb into an avalanche scene to see what it’s like to be saved by a search and rescue dog. Visitors will leave with a better understanding of the evolution of dogs, their cultural and historical importance, as well as what they can do to promote a better understanding and better life for wild and domestic dogs.
