The Dog is one of the animals which can be tamed. Mostly dogs for sale are tamed for guarding because they are loyal. A Dog is also a status symbol among Humans. There are different breed of Dogs i.e. German Shepherd, the Labrador Retriever for sale etc. Humans have been taming the Dogs as per their need in daily work like fetching newspaper, playing outdoor games and of course guarding. Mostly the Dogs are used for guarding purpose. Dogs are the most popular among humans, in today´s world there are Dog shows, Dog race and many other events. There as special saloons for Dogs and also Dog care. There are special training for special works like Search and Rescue. As Dogs have the ability to detect different smell at a time. They are used for rubble searches, water searches, and for avalanche searches. Search and rescue Dogs are used to find humans who are trapped in earthquakes, landslides, building collapses, aviation incidents. They move along the human smell and help us to find the victims of the disaster. The Government has been using Dogs to find Victims since long, it spend a lot upon them. Dogs are also used to solve criminal cases or find criminals by detecting their smell and then following the path of the smell. If a criminal escapes, the Dog detects his smell from his cell and then follows the footprint of the criminal. Dogs also help Police to detect Bombs or explosives in a populated / non-populated area.


Training a Dog is a time taking process and costly too. The training cost and time depend upon the type of work or search we need to take from him. The breed of the Dog plays an important factor in deciding that which type of search we require. We want to search him in Water or Ground or we want him to search Human odor or we want him to search metals and explosives. The efficiency of the Dogs totally depends on the trainer, its breed and time taken. The Government hires Dogs from different agencies or it brought the puppies. The demand of Dogs is increasing day by day in search and rescue works.

Dogs have been helping us since long and we have been using them to save humans and will continue life long.
