dogs can be trained
to save lives? They are
called rescue dogs.

danger, rescue dogs are
ready to help them.
Who do lhey help?
Rescue dogs find
people who are lost or
trapped. The dogs must
be strong and smart.
They must listen to
the people who train
and handle them. This
dogs trainer is telling

one person is lost. Rescue
dogs can look for more
than one person at a time.
Rescue dogs could not
do their jobs without the
people who train and
handle them. Most of
these people love
working with dogs.
They also like
rescuing people
in dangerjust
like their dogs
