What Does a Search Dog do? In addition to the various land, sea, and air resources that are available, California Task Force One (CA-TF-1), managed for FEMA by the Los Angeles Fire Department, has several search dogs on its roster. Most of the k9s are owned by their handlers (not the department), and these individuals dedicate themselves to saving the lives of people trapped or buried during a disaster.  They pay for all of their food, transport, and training out of their own pockets, so it is truly a labor of love. Let's see what these dogs do, and learn how they can help save YOU in the event of an earthquake or other disaster. Click Here.
