Working as Partners
Many breeds of dogs are commonly used as working dogs. There are assistance dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs, and herding dogs. Dogs have served as guides for the blind, as commandos, and were even flown into outer space before humans. Most modern working dogs are put in positions that capitalize on their sensory prowess or strength and endurance advantages over normal humans, or to assist the disabled in every day tasks. Some dogs are also used for searching for or rescuing people and animals, such as in avalanches, at disaster sites, and for missing people or pets.
