Search and Rescue Dogs
Search and Rescue Dogs are specially trained canines that assist in locating missing persons during emergencies, such as natural disasters or accidents. These dogs use their keen sense of smell to track scents and find individuals who may be trapped or lost. They often work alongside human rescuers to cover large areas quickly and efficiently.
The training for Search and Rescue Dogs involves teaching them to recognize specific scents and respond to commands from their handlers. Breeds commonly used for this purpose include Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Bloodhounds, known for their strong tracking abilities and friendly nature.
