About SAR
Search and rescue dogs can detect human scent
Search methods may include skin rafts (scent-carrying skin cells that drop off living humans at a rate of about 40,000 cells per minute), evaporated perspiration, respiratory gases, or decomposition gases released by bacterial action on human skin or tissues.
From training and experience, search and rescue dogs can be classified as either air-scenting dogs or trailing and tracking dogs. Scent discriminating dogs can alert on the scent of an individual person, after sniffing a sample of an individual’s scent.
Non-scent discriminating dogs can alert or follow any scent. SAR dogs can be trained specifically for rubble searches, water searches and avalanche searches.
