Introduction
Dogs have been very helpful in rescue efforts on land. Due to
the effort of well-trained search and rescue dogs, thousands of
human lives are saved every year.
Because of their small size and sharp sense of smell, dogs can locate
survivors much faster than humans can. However, it takes much time and
effort to train them. Also, dogs may lose their sensing ability if they work
too long. In that case, they have to retire.
