Do you think that K9 police units are flat out cool? Perhaps someday you would like to be part of a K9 unit? The main objective for a K9 officer or handler is to search with her/his dog to find suspects or evidence that is linked to a particular crime scene. Since a dog's sense of smell is 10,000 times stronger than humans, the K9 dogs often lead their handlers to a relevant spot that it might have taken detectives hours to find.
Do you sometimes prefer the company of animals to humans? Animal attendants take care of animals on a daily basis. They give them food and water and clean them, and they also exercise the animals. They work in shelters, veterinary hospitals, ranches (for horses) and laboratories.
Do you ever wonder who creates animals' food? That is one of the jobs of an animal scientist. Most animal scientists study livestock, like chickens, pigs and cows. Some, however, do work related to household animals like cats and dogs. Animal scientists study the diets of animals and try to create the best combination of foods for those animals to be healthy. If an animal scientist specializes in nutritional research, s/he may be called an Animal Nutritionist. Other areas of study are breeding, selection, management, marketing of beef products, and genetics.

Thousands of people depend on veterinarians to take good care of their precious animals. Vets may specialize in one area, like small animals for example, which includes dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. Those vets usually practice in a clinic or animal hospital. Other vets work with large animals, like horses and cows, and those vets are often mobile. Some vets work with companies that develop medicine and food to keep animals healthy and fit, and others work with animals that produce food on corporate and government-run farms.
