- Land mine detection: Dogs’ sensitive receptors in their noses can pinpoint mines four inches underground or more. Mine detection dogs prevent thousands of deaths and injuries every year.
- Scat sniffing: Dogs help wildlife researchers by locating scat from endangered species.
- Termite detection: Beagles and Labs are the exterminator’s (and homeowner’s) best friends. The dogs identify infestations in the hidden crawl spaces of houses that show no outward signs of termites.
- Truffle sniffing: Why have dogs replaced pigs as the favorite tracking animal of Italy’s truffle hunters? Pigs
tend to eat what they find. Dogs settle for a biscuit.
