This year’s Pennsylvania Farm Show celebrated America’s 250th anniversary with the theme “Growing a Nation.”
Over the course of the show, which is the nation’s biggest indoor agricultural exposition, Penn Vet faculty, staff, and leadership met with young people interested in becoming veterinarians, staffed the ‘Calving Corner’ exhibit, and showed off the expertise of the animals at Penn Vet’s Working Dog Center.
A German Shepherd trained at Penn Vet’s Working Dog Center on the Pennovation Works complex, was on hand with her human partner, Shane Philipps, a state compliance and enforcement program specialist.
Her job, Philipps explained, is detecting lantern fly and box tree moth eggs usually in the products and vehicles of companies that move them from one area to another. She sniffs them out.
