	WATER SEARCH WITH DOGS
		When the dog detects the victim's scent, she alerts or signals the handler by dropping her nose to the water, or she may become frustrated and anxious, bite at the water, dig at the bottom of the boat, whine, bark or may try to jump into the water to reach the source of the scent.
		It is generally thought that from search to search, the depth, the temperature (air and water), the length of time of submersion, the experience of the dog and handler, the presence of current (surface and otherwise), the weather, the presence of thermoclines, and more all have an effect on the intensity of the dog's alert.
		Search dogs are accepted by most airlines for travel with the handler in the cabin -- with the same status as a seeing eye dog -- but this in-cabin transportation has to be arranged.

	Why Search Dogs
		The deployment of Search Dogs and Handlers is the responsibility of the Police and the Mountain Rescue Team in whose area the incident occurs.
		As a result, the general rule for the deployment of search dogs is to involve their early use in sufficient numbers to cover large areas as soon as possible.
		Search controllers need to remember that dogs are not completely infallible and should consult with experienced dog handlers before deploying dogs to search areas.

	Why Search Dogs? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Dogs can determine direction of source, and age of scent and a variety of other subtle factors about a scent which we as humans with our relatively poor sense of smell do not even consider.
		Tracking dogs, by comparison, detect the track where a person has walked by the change in scent on the ground, such as the scent released when a blade of grass is broken by the foot, as well as scent left by the foot.
		The dog then communicates to the handler the location of the person, either by barking at the person until the handler gets there, or by repeatedly returning to the handler and barking and returning to the casualty, thus leading the handler to the victim.

	Search Dogs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A trained dog's extremely sensitive hearing, night vision, endurance and keen sense of smell have continually proven to be invaluable in the effort to locate missing persons.
		Because of their extraordinary abilities, dogs are often able to reduce the search time and thereby increasing the chances that the person will be found alive.
		The success of search dog use stems from the fact that every human being has a different smell (not detectable by humans) which is caused by the constant stream of dead cells and bacteria shed from the human body.

	SARBC - Using Dogs as Ground Search Resources
		While SAR dogs are capable, in principle, of being trained for both types of searching, most dog handlers train their dogs to perform only one or the other type of work, i.e.
		Trailing dogs (often referred to as tracking dogs, although "tracking" and "trailing" dogs to the purist are not quite synonymous) find lost persons by following minute particles of human tissue or skin cells cast off by the person as he or she travels.
		Often, in fact, the trailing dog team may be unable to specify exactly where it has been--which illustrates the importance of utilizing a navigator competent in using map and compass, and in terrain analysis.

	Dog Owner's Guide: Search and rescue dogs
		In training, dogs are rewarded with play and treats when they locate an acting victim; in an actual search, the victim often cannot respond when found, so handlers must be quick to provide the praise, often in a low-key manner after removing the dog from the vicinity of the find.
		Dogs are trained to follow the scent in different terrain and weather conditions and to identify cadaver scent in bodies of water.
		But handlers are evaluated as closely as dogs to weed out those who let their desire for the spotlight interfere with the job as well as those who cannot emotionally handle the toll of working with disaster victims.

	SARBC - Search Dog General Info (77 Facts)

		A search dog is useful for covering large areas fast, with the least amount of forces committed to the search.
		Search dogs can locate drowned people in the bottom of lakes, or in rivers, or all bodies of water.

	Dog Owner's Guide:Search dog extraordinaire
		Dogs must be accustomed to traffic noises, strangers, and boats and other modes of transportation so they can concentrate on the task at hand without fear or distraction.
		Search and rescue dogs add an extra dimension to the job — they find missing people for rescue if possible and to ease the minds of victims' family members who need to know what happened to a loved one.

	SARDAA - Search and Rescue Dog Association of Alberta
		In a wilderness search where a person is missing in a general area with no known particular "place last seen" (PLS), the search area is commonly divided up into sectors and then each sector is covered by working the dog back and forth across the area, and into the wind, if that's at all possible.
		A dog's indications vary with the intensity of scent and the handler must be familiar with his or her dog's "level of indication" in order to work with the dog effectively.
		Disaster search is very difficult in the sense that the victim cannot necessarily be seen or heard at all and a handler must trust the dog to indicate the scent.

		a trailing search dog would not be able to track a scent trail of a lost cat if the trail is older than 3 to 5 days.
