Search and rescue dogs work valiantly with their human partners to locate accident victims, disaster victims, and lost adults and children in wilderness areas. This book provides a thorough overview of all aspects of rescue dogs. It presents advice and guidance for rescue dog handlers, including detailed instruction on training methods for both dogs and their handlers. The author discusses the role of rescue dogs in wilderness rescue, avalanche rescue, finding drowning victims, and locating both the living and the dead in the wake of plane crashes, earthquakes, and other calamities.
