RILEY THE MUSEUM DOG

If you are a bug, and you live at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and you are trying to decide which painting to damage next, you are in big trouble.

Why?

Because the Museum has a dog who will find you.

His name is Riley. He is a Weimaraner, intelligent, easy to train and with a keen sense of smell. His task is to sniff out insects and other pests that might damage paintings, textiles, and other works of art. Visitors to the Museum probably won’t meet him because he works behind the scenes, dealing particularly with new, incoming items that might carry bugs or other harmful critters. He came as a puppy, worked for a year with his trainers, and is now a valuable member of the Museum staff.

Riley to the rescue!
