摘要
As a species, dogs are particularly suited to working with as well as working for humankind on a variety of tasks, including searching for victims of natural disasters. Their abilities are deeply seated within their genetic make-up and their domestication over thousands of years. Dogs display not only a natural ability to find people, but also to aid and protect them. Military organisations throughout the ages have recognised these traits and shaped canine behaviour to help them in their endeavours on and off the battlefield. Scientific discovery, genetics and breeding, as well as advances in positive training methods, combine to create a unique and unsurpassed search team - canine and handler. Nature and nurture have created more than a living mechanism for rescue workers, however. The emotional benefits and support provided by dogs for responders and victims alike are a profound adjunct to their work as search dogs.
