DETECTION DOG

A detection dog is a dog that is trained to and works at using its senses to detect substances such as explosives, illegal drugs, or blood. They are often known as sniffer dogs. There is some overlap, as in the case of human remains detection dogs (sometimes called cadaver dogs), trained to detect human remains. They are also used for drug raids to find where the drugs are.
