Italian academy trains dogs to find truffles

Description

A labrador wags his tail, happy to have found the hidden treasure as he graduates from Italy's "truffle dog university", making his master proud. Giovanni Monchiero is the dean of the unusual academy in Roddi in northwestern Italy and, like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, transforms "normal" dogs into expert seekers of the lucrative fungus.
