Summary Introduction
To review:

For example, the smell of a pet in the house can be unpleasant to an outsider, while would be neutral to the house owner. With time, the outsider may not feel the pet’s odor as foul.

In addition to the throngs of people rushed to help the island nation, battalions of rescue dogs were dispatched from around the world. The sniffer dogs in these teams rely not only on their amazing Canine olfactory abilities but also on the months and years of laborious training they received geared towards locating survivors trapped under rubbles. Indeed rescue dogs are trained animals that have passed a set of strict criteria to earn a place on the special teams. The dogs must demonstrate mastery of a set of difficult skills, including walking off leash with a trainer on a crowded city street, without getting distracted and performing search and rescue tasks without food rewards. Further, these hardworking canines must be recertified every two year to ensure that their skills remain at peak level.
