Specificatii
A firsthand exploration of the extraordinary abilities and
surprising, sometimes life-saving talents of working dogs--pups who
can sniff out drugs, find explosives, even locate the dead--as told
through the experiences of a journalist and her intrepid canine
companion, which The New York Times calls a fascinating, deeply
reported journey into the...amazing things dogs can do with their
noses. There are thousands of working dogs all over the US and
beyond with incredible abilities--they can find missing people,
detect drugs and bombs, pinpoint unmarked graves of Civil War
soldiers, or even find drowning victims more than two hundred feet
below the surface of a lake. These abilities may seem magical or
mysterious, but author Cat Warren shows the science, the rigorous
training, and the skilled handling that underlie these creatures'
amazing abilities. Cat Warren is a university professor and
journalist who had tried everything she could think of to harness
her dog Solo's boundless energy and enthusiasm...until a behavior
coach suggested she try training him to be a working dog. What
started out as a hobby soon became a calling, as Warren was
introduced to the hidden universe of dogs who do this essential
work and the handlers who train them. Her dog Solo has a fine nose
and knows how to use it, but he's only one of many astounding dogs
in a varied field. Warren interviews cognitive psychologists,
historians, medical examiners, epidemiologists, and forensic
anthropologists, as well as the breeders, trainers, and handlers
who work with and rely on these intelligent and adaptable animals
daily. Along the way, Warren discovers story after story that prove
the capabilities--as well as the very real limits--of working dogs
and their human partners. Clear-eyed and unsentimental, Warren
explains why our partnership with working dogs is woven into the
fabric of society, and why we keep finding new uses for the
wonderful noses of our four-legged friends.
