 犬好きです。いろんなことに挑戦しています。英語、中国語、フランス語、韓国語、カラオケ、健康体操、野鳥観察、文学、哲学書・宗教書を読む、認知症サポーター、地域コミュニティーの在り方、図書館の在り方、老人会(寿会)の在り方探索、国際交流、短歌、俳句、川柳、各紙への投稿等々……。しかし、どれも中途半端なので、最近は、とりあえず英語が流暢に話せるようになるため、多くの時間をかけています。

Detection dog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A detection dog or sniffer dog is a dog that is trained to and works at using its senses (almost always the sense of smell) todetect substances such as explosives, illegal drugs, wildlife scat, currency, or blood. Hunting dogs that search for game and search dogs that search for missing humans are generally not considered detection dogs. There is some overlap, as in the case of cadaver dogs, trained to search for human remains. Some police dogs that are used in drug raids are trained not only to locate narcotics, but also persons who may be hiding from the police, as well as stashed currency. Some detector dogs can locate contraband electronics, such as illicit mobile phones in prisons.[2]


In recent years, detection dogs have emerged as a valuable research tool for wildlife biologists. In California, dogs are trained to detect the quagga mussel on boats at public boat ramps, as it is an invasive species. Sniffer dogs have also been enlisted to find bumblebee nests. Other studies have employed detection dogs for the purposes of finding and collecting the feces of a diverse array of species, including caribou,[3] black-footed ferret, killer whale, and Oregon spotted frog.
