South Coast Zoo Gets Animal Ambassador; One You Can Actually Pet

A South Coast zoo’s newest resident is one you will actually be able to pet. The Santa Barbara Zoo now has a Golden Retriever pup named Bradley, which will serve as a Zoo Ambassador in the community.

The dog is undergoing training right now, but the plan is for the dog to eventually participate in keeper talks, and do outreach events to schools and retirement homes.

Bradley lives at the zoo, but he’s currently being kept behind the scenes until he completes his training.
