Summary

In part two of "Our Canine Heroes" we cover search and rescue (and K-9) training, where rescue dogs w,ee first employed), life-saving stories, diffent types of rescue dogs: did you know some dogs are trained specifically to sniff out drowning victims in water as deep as 40 feet? We explain how this is done. They were very busy in Texas this past year with flood victims, giving closure to many familys.

And there are many more specially trained rescue dogs- some trained to sniff out their master's oncoming seizure before it happens and lead them to a predestined safe spot. Others are trained for a wide variety of rescues and searches.

Here is a video of "Air Scent" dogs trained to find drowning victims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS1HooroM10
