    A yellow Labrador Retriever is interacting with a spoke-like metal apparatus inside an enclosed outdoor testing area. The device appears to be a scent detection or behavioral research apparatus, with cylindrical metal containers mounted at the ends of radiating arms connected to a central rotating platform. The dog is actively sniffing one of the metal containers, suggesting this is a controlled scientific or training exercise.

    COVID-19 detection canine Poncho indicates a positive sample from multiple items presented on a canine training wheel. The Training Aid Delivery Devices attached to each arm of the wheel allow the dog to detect the substance inside, some of which are the proteins that a person produces in response to the virus.
