Maya the border collie has been abandoned at the local animal shelter and is worried she won’t find her forever home. But just as her hope starts to fade Dr Romane ‘Rom’ Cristescu comes by looking for a dog with a keen nose to help with her research. She needs a dog to track koalas by their sniffing out their poo and Maya is the perfect dog for the job!
