Dogs can do amazing things

The cadaver dog has been taught how to detect the particular scent of a human corpse. These specially trained animals can detect cadavers above ground and those who have been buried.

 

The cadaver dog will ignore the scent of living humans. These animals are able to detect recently dead bodies and those who have been deceased for some time, even if the only remains are dried blood or fragments of bone.
