Spirit of Endurance

This man and his dogs work as a team to rescue people. Why is teamwork important in conditions such as extreme cold or heat? When extreme weather conditions appear there often isn’t much time to act. People can become injured or trapped. Rescue teams are sent to help. Search and rescue dogs are an important part of the team. These dogs are trained to find people in extreme conditions. The keen senses of the search and rescue dog allow it to locate missing or injured persons that its human handler might miss. What other ways can these dogs help people?
