From School Library Journal:
Grade 4 Up-- Because of the dog's amazing nose, this intelligent animal can be trained to detect and find illegal drugs, explosives, hazardous chemicals, criminal evidence, lost children, disaster victims, and prison escapees. The handlers who work with these dogs go through a rigorous training program, and the way in which highly trained dogs and their skilled handlers work together is impressive. Curtis and Cupp give young readers an exciting look at the lives of search dogs. Easy to read but never condescending, the writing is always to the point yet detailed enough to be informative. The black-and-white photographs are aptly captioned and add significantly to the text. A directory of search and rescue dog organizations at the end of the book illustrates the widespread use of dogs to save lives. --Wendy Dellett, formerly at Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Library, Washington, DC
