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.
