"Conservation Canine Handler"--anyone heard of this?

I was poking around Texas A&M's job board when I came across an ad for Conservation Canine Handler. It sounds like they're training dogs to detect and differentiate between different kinds of animal scat. Kind of like drug dogs, only with poop.

I think it's a pretty cool idea!
