Embry – Riddle Aeronautical University: Superpower Dogs

Discover the life-saving superpowers and extraordinary bravery of some of the world’s most remarkable dogs. Narrated by Chris Evans, this program showcases dogs trained in dangerous jobs, including water and avalanche rescue.

Superpower dogs doing superhero jobs can get pretty busy, but if their schedules allow, some real-life dogs from the Prescott K-9 unit and Yavapai Dog Search and Rescue team will be present to share their talents with you at the end of select programs.

The November weekend of “Superpower Dogs” will include showings of “A New Inferno,” a 15-minute documentary on Phoenix, Arizona’s summer heatwave. This film follows paramedics as they race to save the lives of heatstroke victims using a radical new treatment: ice immersion therapy. Film producer, director and ASU professor Nita Blum-Reddick will attend the Saturday, Nov. 15, 5 p.m. screening to deepen the conversation following the program.

For the comfort and safety of all guests, only trained service animals are permitted at the planetarium. Thank you for your understanding.
