What is the difference between a search dog, cadaver dog, decomp dog and a forensic evidence dog?
A “search dog” has little or no training in finding deceased humans. The term “cadaver dog” came about after search and rescue dogs started to be trained to look for expired lost persons and suicides. The term “decomposition dog” better describes how dogs will indicate decomp human scent which includes blood, feces, urine or other material with human scent on it.
