Trailing dogs follow the scent of a specific person captured from a personal item. Even from a home with high foot traffic, a trailing dog can find the newest scent path. Trailing dogs are essential for determining the direction a missing person has traveled. They help keep the search focused. Law enforcement is encouraged to immediately request trailing resources in an urban search situation.
