Remembering Mena, the Penguin Detection Dog
Keep Mena the Penguin Detection Dog's memory and legacy alive by supporting KORI's efforts to develop educational resources in 2024
Kaikoura, Canterbury
It has been almost a year since we lost our beloved Mena.
She touched many hearts with her wagging tail, puppy dog eyes and spreading of joy! Not to mention the incredible way she protected our local wildlife.
Not only did Mena impact each of our lives, as a penguin detection dog Mena also protected the lives of many of our native penguins throughout New Zealand. This month, we'd love to take a moment and remember Mena's incredible work and the lives of humans and penguins alike that benefited from her time amongst us.
Although Mena has gone to heaven (as all dogs do!), the great work of the Kaikōura Ocean Research Institute continues. Help us to remember Mena by donating to continue the legacy that she has, and will always, be a part of!
