Scent of the missing : love and partnership with a search-and-rescue dog
Charleson, Susannah
Adult Nonfiction SF428.55 .C43 2010
From Library Journal:
Humans have long used dogs, with their remarkable scenting abilities, to find lost, injured, or dead people. However, recent tragedies and disasters-9/11, Hurricane Katrina-have brought search-and-rescue recovery to the forefront. Charleson introduces us to this world as she trains her dog Puzzle to work with Dallas's elite Metro Area Rescue K9 unit. Interspersed with stories of such routine activities as housebreaking and walking on a leash are the hold-your-breath moments when the author describes actual rescue/recovery missions such as the shuttle Columbia explosion. Verdict This memorable tribute to the dedication of these dog-handler teams is an essential read for dog lovers.-EMS (c) Copyright 2010.
