Amazingly Capable!
“The dog has been ‘man’s best friend’ since
Neolithic times, 10,000 years ago. As people learned to modify the dog’s
physical appearance and even its temperament through selective breeding,
they were able to produce animals capable of performing a wide variety
of services. These included refinements in the hunting process such as
pointing, retrieving, tracking, and burrowing; herding; draft work (pulling
and carrying); guard duties; providing companionship; and, more recently,
assisting the disabled such as the blind or wheelchair-bound. Quite recently,
police work has been added to the list.
“In this last capacity, the dog has been making major contributions
to the fight against terrorism, in no area more critically
than in the search for hidden explosives.”
(Technology Against Terrorism, 1991)
Today, dogs are an integral part of our society - one of humanity’s
first, most durable, and most delightful achievements in domestications.
Dogs have been successfully trained in the following areas:
Search, Rescue and Detection Dogs - Dogs have been successfully trained
to detect for bombs, narcotics, missing people, arson,
mold, termites, land mines, missing pets.
Service Dogs - Dogs have been successfully trained
to provide assistance in the following areas: wheelchair-bound
individuals, blind individuals, predicting epileptic
seizures, providing companionship and laughter for
nursing-home residents.
Herding Dogs - Dogs have long been used for sheepherding.
Performance Dogs - Some dogs are bred and trained
for racing, jumping, and performing in “Best
in Show” competitions.
Sled Dogs - A few dogs are lucky enough to spend
years training for the most difficult race on the
earth - The Iditarod
Eco Dogs - Some dogs are trained to protect humans
and animals who have special needs: in Guam, dogs
are trained to sniff out brown tree snakes. On the
South African coast, dogs are trained to uncover
smugglers and their trade. In Anatolian, shepherd
dogs guard flocks and protect their predator, the
endangered cheetah, at the same time.
