"Disobedient Dogs"  is a DIY guide for creating functional gas masks for prairie dogs, highlighting their critical role in ecosystems and the conflicts they face with Boulder, CO's farming industry. Farmers often decline to re-lease city-owned land inhabited by prairie dogs, reducing city revenue and leading to the removal of prairie dog towns through relocation or extermination. The mask produced by following the steps in the “Disobedient Dogs” guide can protect a prairie dog from the aluminum phosphine gas used in their extermination.
