Читать книгу Collins Good Dog Behaviour: An Owner’s Guide - Gwen Bailey - Страница 21

Man has utilized the dog’s incredible sense of smell in a variety of ways. To detect drugs, explosives, to find lost people, to track criminals, to find buried survivors after earthquakes or avalanches, to track animals to be hunted, or, more recently, to sniff out dry rot and termites in buildings, to find human bodies lost in water or to detect skin cancers and other diseases. In such exercises, dogs are better than any machine, having a better publicity value, being more accurate, more reliable, cheaper, and more fun!
