Dog rescue unit

  • Search dogs are used a lot in UK. Fire and Rescue have them for USAR for scenting around collapsed buildings and also assist in missing persons stuff. Both Mountain Rescue and Lowland have SARDA (Search and Rescue Dog assoc. Members) and some coastguard teams have them as well. Predominantly air scent search dogs, fulfil a different role to that done by a large proportion of police K9 units. I could see that they may be of use in game as an additional unit, not necessarily a main unit. (They're used as a 'force multiplier' in search as they can cover ground quicker than human search teams depending on conditions).

    Hmm, maybe some research on their wider use worldwide would be in order?
