SAR Dogs

Search and rescue (SAR) dogs are specially trained canines that detect human scent in emergency situations, such as natural disasters or missing persons cases. Their keen sense of smell enables them to locate individuals quickly, often in challenging environments like rubble, forests, or mountains. SAR dogs work closely with handlers, following scent trails and indicating when they've found a person, typically through alerts like barking or physical cues. Their agility, intelligence, and olfactory capabilities make them invaluable in life-saving operations, improving the chances of timely rescues and providing critical support for emergency response teams.
