Reseña del editor:
(full color photographs) SAVING LIVES AND CATCHING BAD GUYS.... Missing children, lost Alzheimer's patients, suicidal adults, as well as murderers, rapists and robbers on the run all have one thing in common. Somebody is looking for them. Frequently, traditional search methods fail to find these people or fail to find them in time. This is where law enforcement agencies fortunate enough to possess a properly trained bloodhound in their K-9 unit have a distinct advantage. These are true stories from K-9 handlers who have received bloodhounds from the non-profit Kody Snodgrass Memorial Foundation and 832 K-9's DeputyDogs, whose one goal is raise and train bloodhounds and place them in the hands of law enforcement agencies and rescue organizations across the country and around the world. Filled with numerous pictures of these great bloodhounds and their partner heroes.
