courtnek Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 You are having a picnic on a hot. humid day..your five year old son has a temper tantrum and wanders off into the woods..near a small but deep lake..(I have issues with them letting him wander off, but that's a different story) They cant find him when they go look for him..what would you do? They send out an alert, they get 200 people out to search, on a bad night with a major thunderstorm... the search is called off because of the danger of the thunderstorm..they have taken hours to do this searching...eventually, they call in a pyschic.. I have no problem with psychics, I believe in some cases where everything else fails they can help..but..WHY DIDNT THEY BRING IN A BLOODHOUND? In the beginning, before it became too late... THIS is what these dogs are trained to do...why not use that training? They may have found him alot sooner then flying in a psychic from New York... Personally, I would have demanded a bloodhound...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 omg, the whole time reading that I was thinking the same thing Court! I'd be sending in the Bloodhound SAR dog BEFORE the SAR PEOPLE!!! Quote
DogPaddle Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 In many areas, paticularly moderately to highly populated areas, access to SAR personal is extremely limited and access to SAR dogs even more so. It is hard to even get proper SAR training for your dog around here. Still I would have wanted a dog, even a poorly trained SAR dog. Isn't tracking part of advanced Schutzhund? That would do. Quote

True. I also wonder why they didn't use a helicopter with heat scan, I mean if you are going to fly something in that is. Unless they were pretty sure they were looking for a cadaver, of course there are also cadaver sniffing dogs. Quote
