Brix is his name, a meteorite hunting German Shepard owned by meteorite hunter extraordinaire Sonny Clary. Brix is now the worlds first “trained meteorite dog” to have found a meteorite! It seems meteorite finding dogs are becoming popular! Little over a year ago the world was introduced to “Hopper” the meteorite finding dog in West Texas, after the “hoppy” little pooch found a meteorite from the now famous West, TX meteorite fall Ash Creek. Read more about Hopper on Ruben Garcia’s site Mr-Meteorite.net
Now it’s happened again, this time though it’s a little different Sonny actually trained Brix to hunt meteorites in the deserts of Nevada where Sonny is famous for finding hundreds of meteorites. You can view Sonny’s site Nevadameteorites.com
Sonny is a veteran meteorite hunter and has found literally thousands of meteorites in the deserts and dry lakes of the Nevada wilderness.
Brix is not new to fame! Recently he has been seen on the Science Channel’s very popular Meteorite Men show, a series about meteorite hunting.
Congratulations go out to Sonny for a job well done, and mostly to Brix though!
He is after all the dog who found the 198g meteorite! View a photo of proud Brix and the now famous meteorite on Michael Johnson’s RocksfromSpace.org Meteorite Dog Finds First Meteorite!
