new here, but wanted to add, that cadaver dogs are taught to sit or lay down when they find a hit as respect to the body. Search dogs are not taught that..
The poster with the idea of older people sort of blew my mind,but families often times have to get rid of the sheets, mattresses etc when they find a love one dead, so maybe thats not as far fetched as it sounded at first.
Are cadaver dogs given the scent of the person they are looking for or do they search for decomp of any human.
All 3 dogs were cadaver dogs? Would have been interesting if they had a search and rescuse dog there also. or maybe they did.
Cadaver dogs search for the smell of human decay, they are not given a specific person's scent.
