Don’t let his size fool you, Draco is a small but mighty fruit finder! He has springs for legs and easily finds the agriculture that’s way above his head. Draco and his handler rotate visits through the many shipping terminals in Alameda County including, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS.
After a hard day protecting California Agriculture Draco enjoys swimming, hiking, squeaking his toys, (especially his Wubba) rolling in the dirt and just plain loving life.
