Have you ever seen a dog jump out of a helicopter before?
That’s exactly what dogs from the American Academy of Canine Water Rescue are trained to do. And they are Newfoundland dogs, one of the largest breeds of dogs in the world. Meet Oakley and friends and hear from her George Abraham, her human owner/trainer, about what it takes to go from playful puppy to serious rescue dog.
Out of courtesy to our neighbors, only service dogs and invited demonstration dogs are allowed in the museum.
Service animals are welcome in the museum. The museum entrance is wheelchair accessible via the building’s main plaza on the corner of Park Ave and E 40th Street. Accessible elevators are located on the first floor of the museum to the left of the admissions desk and gift shop. Public restrooms include accessible facilities.
If you have any questions regarding accessibility, please feel free to contact the museum.
Non-flash photography is permitted in the Museum for personal (non commercial) use except where noted. Flash photography, videography and tripods are not permitted in the Museum.
