Summary:
"Cat Warren is a university professor with an admittedly odd hobby: She and her German shepherd have spent the last seven years searching for the dead. Solo is a cadaver
dog
.
What
started as a way to harness Solo’s unruly energy and enthusiasm soon became a calling that introduced Warren to the hidden and fascinating universe of
working
dogs
, their handlers, and their trainers. Solo is only one of many thousands of
working
dogs
, a captivating field that includes cadaver
dogs
, drug- and bomb-detecting K9s, tracking and apprehension
dogs
.
Working
dogs’ abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but Warren shows the multifaceted
science
, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie the amazing abilities of
dogs
who work with their noses"--Provided by publisher.
