Humans and dogs have been living and working together for thousands of years. Because of their protective (保护的) and playful nature, people often get dogs as pets for children. Today, because of their natural curiosity and excellent sense of smell, many dogs are being trained to help with different kinds of search and rescue (救援) jobs, for example, when a skier is lost in a snowy wilderness area or a child disappears in a forest.
The first known use of dogs to help rescue people took place in the Great St. Bernard Pass, a route (路线) in the mountains between Switzerland and Italy. There, hikers often became lost during bad winter weather. For many centuries, a group of monks (僧人) ran a small hotel there where travelers could spend the night. In the 17th century, the monks began taking dogs with them when they went out to rescue lost travelers. They knew the dogs could use their sense of smell to find people, but they soon discovered that the animals also had an excellent sense of direction, even when it was impossible to see anything through the heavy snow. Using dogs for search and rescue jobs became common during the First World War.
★ They have to go through strict training. The training can last up to two years, and trainers look for four qualities in the animals they choose: being able to communicate well with humans; focusing on one thing for a long time; enjoying playing games since the training includes doing the same thing over and over again; finally, it must follow orders all times or it might fight back. Dogs with these have become a valuable part of many life-saving teams around the world.
