Dogs have been used to track people for centuries. Every culture that has dogs, tells stories of them helping find lost children, lost sheep, camels or cows, and tracking down thieves and escaped criminals.

In recent times, dogs have been trained to become professionals in fairly select areas. Police dogs in Australia specialise in sniffing out currency, drugs, firearms and explosives.
