This "ready for action" dog is a geoart consisting of 65 easy to solve (and mostly easy to find) puzzles, making it fun and easy for all levels of caching ability.
This geoart is dedicated to the geodogs in our lives. Some of us have them, some of us had them by our sides and at some point, all of us have probably cached with a four legged geo-friend. Thanks to everyone who contributed photos and stories of your geodogs.
The final locations will take you on a nice walk on some of Brantford's finest trails. Take your geodog with you, they will love it!
Detection Dogs
A detection dog, or sniffer dog, is trained to use its powerful sense of smell to locate substances like explosives, narcotics, or human remains, and perform other tasks such as finding invasive species or even diseases. These dogs are trained for a wide variety of purposes, including law enforcement, search and rescue, conservation, and even medical applications.
Common uses of detection dogs
- Search and rescue: These dogs find live people in disaster areas or wilderness settings.
- Human remains detection: These dogs are trained to locate human decomposition odor, whether it's from recent incidents or historic graves.
- Conservation: Conservation dogs are used to find invasive species, track endangered animals by their scent or scat, and detect illegal wildlife products like ivory and rhino horn.
- Medical detection: Research is ongoing into using dogs to detect various human and animal diseases, such as certain cancers, infections, and plant diseases.
- Pest control: Some dogs are trained to detect pests like bed bugs and termites.
- Law enforcement and security: Dogs are used to detect illegal drugs, weapons, currency, and contraband electronics at borders, in correctional facilities, and at airports.
