Hercules and Ned are two hard working dogs at West Virginia International Yeager Airport.. The border collies and their handler make daily patrols along the milelong airfield to ensure birds and other wildlife stay away from planes and keep passengers and crew safe. Yeager management in 2018 bought Hercules at the recommendation of a wildlife biologist. Hercules was trained in Charlotte, North Carolina by a company that specializes in keeping nuisance wildlife away. Eyewitness News pointed out Charleston’s airport is on top of a mountain and has a menagerie of wildlife, including Canada geese, hawks, ducks, songbirds and bats to keep the dogs busy.
