Any dog with the right temperament and a nose — which is nearly all of them — can learn to find a lost pet.

In traditional search-and-rescue work, trained dogs sniff out missing people following each person's distinctive scent. Lost-pet detection is no different — each pet has a unique smell, just like humans, and training a dog to find one is really about the nose doing what it already does well.
Any breed of dog can be a Pet Detective. All dogs have an incredible nose compared to a human, even the flat-faced breeds — age isn't a barrier either. Up to 8 million animals end up in shelters each year, and up to half of unclaimed pets are ultimately euthanized. A trained Pet Detective is a real, practical way to shorten the time between a pet going missing and getting found.
