00:00.040 --> 00:03.123
(light upbeat music)

00:04.900 --> 00:06.631
- What a lot of people don't know

00:06.631 --> 00:10.714
is that working dogs can be extremely beneficial.

00:11.738 --> 00:14.345
So a dog has a nose that's incredible.

00:14.345 --> 00:16.333
So when we smell a cheeseburger we smell a cheeseburger.

00:16.333 --> 00:18.970
A dog will smell the sesame seeds,

00:18.970 --> 00:19.803
the lettuce,

00:19.803 --> 00:20.652
the tomato,

00:20.652 --> 00:21.569
the buns, the ketchup,

00:21.569 --> 00:22.402
all of it.

00:22.540 --> 00:24.726
So their nose is far more incredible than ours.

00:24.726 --> 00:26.716
And their sense of smell

00:26.716 --> 00:28.685
will help them detect an explosive

00:28.685 --> 00:31.352
a lot faster than our eyes will.

00:32.019 --> 00:34.502
We have patrol explosive detection dogs.

00:34.502 --> 00:37.585
They're used to sniff out explosives,

00:37.619 --> 00:38.536
find bombs,

00:39.315 --> 00:41.115
and then we have the NARC dogs,

00:41.115 --> 00:43.114
but they find drugs instead.

00:43.114 --> 00:44.669
And then lastly we have trackers.

00:44.669 --> 00:46.177
And trackers find people.

00:46.177 --> 00:48.365
So, they can be used in a variety of different ways.

00:48.365 --> 00:50.237
And it makes it an easier environment

00:50.237 --> 00:52.003
for the Marines to work in.

00:52.003 --> 00:54.613
They feel a lot better, a lot safer,

00:54.613 --> 00:57.208
having that dog going out and searching for the explosives.

00:57.208 --> 00:58.979
The detection is a huge part.

00:58.979 --> 01:00.197
It's our bread and butter.

01:00.197 --> 01:02.591
That's what we ultimately are trained for every day.

01:02.591 --> 01:03.424
So when we go out

01:03.424 --> 01:05.131
and deploy in combat,

01:05.131 --> 01:09.298
that's what our central task is gonna be used for.

01:10.024 --> 01:11.524
- [Man] Good girl.

01:11.834 --> 01:13.196
(dog barking)

01:13.196 --> 01:14.696
- [Woman] Goodie.
