Explanation:

To determine which sentence supports the idea that turtle - retrieving dogs perform an important service, we analyze each option.

• Option a (Rucker began telling stories of his turtle - retrieving dogs to his friends) only mentions sharing stories, not the service's importance.
• Option b (This ensures they find a lot of turtles and don't hurt the turtles) directly relates to the dogs' role in finding turtles safely, which is crucial for turtle conservation (as tracking turtles is vital to their survival as per the text).
• Option c (Tracking turtles is vital to their survival) is a general statement about tracking, not about the dogs' service.
• Option d (Turtles also have special value) is about turtles' value, not the dogs' service.

Answer:

B. This ensures they find a lot of turtles and don't hurt the turtles.
