Search dogs are specially trained canines used to locate missing persons, detect drugs, or find explosives. They rely on their keen sense of smell, which is far superior to that of humans. These dogs often work alongside law enforcement or search and rescue teams in various environments, including urban areas and wilderness. The training process for search dogs involves teaching them to recognize specific scents and respond to commands from their handlers. Breeds commonly used for this purpose include German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and Bloodhounds. Their skills make them invaluable assets in emergency situations and law enforcement operations.
