Search-and-rescue dogs are valuable resources in efforts to find missing people. They can work day and night, in most kinds of weather and are especially effective where human sight or access may be limited. This is frequently the case where there is debris resulting from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or when a victim is buried in the ground, under snow or has been lost under water. All humans constantly shed microscopic particles. These particles which bear a unique human scent for each individual can be transported by the wind or deposited on vegetation and other surfaces. These scents are what search and rescue dogs use to find missing people. Read more information on search and rescue dogs at Alder K.
