Uncover the difficult training exercises and heroic real-life stories of search and rescue dogs, their handlers, and their brilliant teamwork. Among the amazingly true tales: a disaster search and rescue dog leaps from metal beam to concrete slab while trying to locate an earthquake victim trapped beneath the rubble of a fallen building; a group of children lost in the forest is saved by a wilderness search and rescue canine; and a snow slide buries a young mother, until an avalanche dog comes to her rescue. Describes the work and training of different kinds of search and rescue dogs, including wilderness dogs, bloodhounds, disaster dogs, and avalanche dogs, and discusses the work of a dog named Jake who helped on the site of the World Trade Center.
