NPR: Talk Of The Nation Talks "Dog"

Here is a great article on Rescue Dogs that find missing persons. If you don't have time to read it, give a listen!

Rescue Dogs Scout Out Scents Of The Missing

In a similar vein, if you live in the Somerville area, there is a new class being offered by City Dog called Nosework. Your dog can scent out a particular odor out of a line up of boxes. It's a ton of fun, and the basic skills needed for search and rescue dogs. For more information on search and rescue (S.A.R.), check out the right sidebar where I have a link to the National Organization for Search And Rescue.
