Sniffer dogs or detection dogs are used for all kinds of situations. Some are used only in natural disasters to find survivors; others are used in public places like airports, train stations, etc., to find drugs or terrorists.
Some are used in crime scenes to find clues and
some are even used to search for dangerous wildlife in forests or on coasts.
