Dogs have helped law enforcement and search-and-rescue crews discover human remains for decades. But recently, a new group has enlisted the help of canines and their olfactory superpowers: archaeologists. ... To test the dogs, Glavaš had them sniff around an area where they she had excavated three grave sites the year before. The human remains had been removed, and due to weathering, it was no longer apparent where the excavations had taken place. Two dogs, working independently, easily located all three spots.
They then allowed the dogs, Sattve and Mali, to sniff around another site where they suspected there were more graves. The dogs located six of the unique graves
PING to new use of dogs
Dogs, is there anything they can’t do?
Except opening the cans themselves?
Dog is just god spelled backwards.
Trying to remember where I heard about a dog that a friend used to reward by giving an UNOPENED can of dog food, that the dog would open.

now if we can just train them to sniff out gold, silver, gems etc- precious metal deposits-
I wonder if they could be? That would be cool- course it probably woudl have to be near the surface-
LOL- Good one!
Deep thought.
That makes me paws for reflection.
Thanks, SC. ;o]
‘Face
VERY interesting!
Thanks for the ping!
put in polling places to sniff out dead voters
Going to need to sniff the mail for dead voter absentee ballots too.
Dogs are Angels.
They certainly keep watch over us.
Or is it our lunch they’re watching?
Mals are great dogs but I’m not fond of all the press they’re getting right now. They’re really bad dogs for people who don’t have the time to train and work with them. Calm lazy couch potatoes they are not.
Well, there’s always the Coton de Tulear. One can really see them out working.
