The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation
The List confesses its helpless devotion to dogs. With that in mind the
List's gentle members may forgive another canine site with a broader
purpose.
"Disasters happen. Earthquakes shake down homes and apartments, tornadoes
knock down buildings, and bombs reduce huge office buildings to rubble. The
dogs who search out victims in these collapsed structures are called
Disaster Search Dogs.Disaster Search Dogs, of all the fine dogs who are a
service to humankind, are the only ones at this time who are trained to and
test at rigorous national certification standards. Because of anticipated
earthquakes, this type of training began in California, patterned after
previously developed Swiss methods." - from the website
Discover more about the dogs and their handlers whose presence and untiring
efforts at scenes of devastation remain so vividly in our minds.
Stride over to the website for an overview of the organization which helps
train these courageous canines.
