Throughout history, dogs have been used for military, civil and defense purposes. Law enforcement agencies and the military utilize canines in a number of ways. This includes patrol partners, apprehension assistants, trackers, scouts, drug, explosive, and accelerent detectors. These dogs along with their trainers provide crucial services for our society.
One prime example where canines were indispensable was in the 911 tragedy where 3000 people lost their lives in New York City. Canines were used extensively to rapidly find survivors. With their keen sense of smell they could surpass the smelling capacity of humans or the tools they used.
