Where do search and rescue dogs work?
They work where they are needed. Search and rescue dogs are trained to handle many kinds of transportation and can even be transported by helicopter and raised and lowered in harnesses. In a disaster, SAR (Search And Rescue) dogs go where they are needed, anywhere in the world. Some are specially trained to find and recover people buried in avalanches. Others do the same for people buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings. Some find missing people lost in deserts or wilderness. Some detect bodies of missing people, even when they are submerged under water.

Do search and rescue dogs find lost cats?
No, not on a general basis. They are trained to find people, but will follow any scent indicated by their handler. Occasionally handlers are willing to aid in the search for missing pets, but that is up to each individual and is not a requirement of search and rescue dogs.Other contributors have said: No, not on a general basis. They are trained to find people, but every so often if they find a dog/cat that's alive they will save them too.
What are SAR dogs?
SAR dogs are "Search and Rescue" dogs. They are specially trained to track and find lost people. SAR dogs were used in the World Trade Center disaster to search for victims buried in the ruble of the twin towers. Dogs have 25 times more olfactory receptors than humans do. Their noses are structured to process scents efficiently and their brains are wired to interpret olfactory information better than human brains. Dogs can sense odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. For example, they can detect one drop of blood in five quarts of water. SAR dogs are trained to use this superior scenting ability to help their human handlers find missing people. They might search for a child or mentally challenged person who has wandered off, for a person lost after an accident, for a victim trapped in debris, or even for a person who has been abducted.
How do Dalmatians help firemen?
Search and Rescue (SAR) dogs are trained to find missing people by scent. They may be asked to search for lost hikers, follow a lost child, or search collapsed buildings for survivors, such as the World Trade Center disaster. SAR dogs are trained differently from other tracking dogs. Police dogs are trained to follow the exact path of the person they are pursuing. This is important because evidence may be dropped as the person runs. SAR dogs are usually trained to air scent rather than track. They search with their heads up to detect the scent of humans in the air, then follow that scent to its source. It is a somewhat less reliable form of scenting than "foot step tracking" done by police dogs, but when it works it finds the missing person faster. If the person has doubled back on themselves a few times, which lost people often do, the SAR dog can skip the extra loops of the track and go right to the person in a straight line. Typically SAR dogs are partnered with a single handler who is specially trained to guide the dog in the search and with whom the dog lives and forms a strong working relationship and bond.
What are saint bernards used as?
In the Swiss alps large dogs (including the bulky Saint Bernard) were trained as alpine rescue animals. They were trained to find people lost in the snow storms and avalanches (something dogs are naturally inclined to do anyways, as a hunting instinct). They were outfitted with little casks of liquor that the lost person could suck from. The medicinable qualities of liquor in such a situation is questionable. Perhaps it made the victums feel warm (eventhough it really doesn't) or maybe it just made them feel that life was actuall worth living and they would give it a second try - sort of thing.
Why do lost dogs never accept water from people who find them?
They don't always. Maybe they aren't always thirsty. You know, there's plenty of water in the world for dogs to drink.
Can dogs smell through things?
Ooh, yes! That's part of why police train search and rescue dogs----it helps them to find lost people or to sniff out hidden drugs. Dogs have very, very good senses of smell.
What do the dog work?
It depends on the breed of the dog. Most dogs are trained to work with sheep, cattle, goats, and or other herding type animals. A person will train the dog to aid them, when moving a herd or flock from one place to another. Some dogs where simply used to protect a flock. The Great Pyrenees, Komondor, Kuvasz, Anatolian Shepard, are all examples of dogs that lived with other animals and protected them from predators. Many small dogs were considered working dogs. Terriers were often kept for rodent control. The Dachshund was breed to hunt badgers. The Cairn terriers where bred to hunt rodents that lived in cairns. Cairns are large rock piles. Modern dogs now also work by guiding blind people, and helping with hearing impaired persons. There are also dogs that help detect cancer in people. There are a number of other disabilities that dog now help with. They have also been trained to find either live or dead people. There are search and rescue dogs, that are used to find someone that is lost in the wilderness, or some dogs are used to locate people that are trapped in buildings after earthquakes. I believe that all dogs are happier when they have some type of work to do.
