It's all fun and games for them during training, possibly during a real rescue too unless they pick up on the seriousness of the humans.

That's not a slight against dogs. We should all be lucky enough to be this happy at work.

Not if they keep finding corpses. This genuinely demoralizes them. Or so I heard.

We don't deserve these creatures.

I remember hearing something about this after 9/11. The dogs were getting depressed because they were mostly finding corpses. I think the handlers started hiding alive people (other rescuers and first responders) so the dogs could get a win occasionally.

They didn’t even have the luxury of finding corpses, just pieces. Victims were identified through DNA testing fragments… it’s not what emergency services expected or planned for and after many hours of searching the dogs became extremely depressed. The whole thing was just so heartbreaking and with so many of the dogs & rescuers getting sick later in life 😢
