Description

In order to rescue a disaster victim, you first have to FIND them. No technology can match a dog's speed and accuracy in finding people trapped alive under the wreckage of a disaster, thanks to its:
• Remarkable sense of smell (many times more acute than ours) and ability to ignore all other scents and noises- even tempting traces of other animals, food, or people involved in the search;
• Unparalleled ability to quickly and safely navigate unstable and slippery terrain-like a 4-wheel drive on paws!
• Ability to negotiate these dangerous surfaces while keeping absolutely focused on the job at hand: saving a life;
• Ability to work off-leash and get to places humans cannot safely access.
