They sniff out hidden food, dirty socks, and the visitor who comes to the door. But some dogs work with police officers, soldiers and even scientists to put their \"sniffers\" to work. Sniffer dogs make use of the amazing biology behind their noses to protect people from bombs, catch criminals smuggling drugs, or help researchers locate a hard to find snail in a forest. \u003cbr\u003e A dog's nose is so sensitive that if a human could see as well as a dog could smell, we would be able to see the small letters on an eye chart from four (four!) miles away. Is it any wonder then that dogs can be trained to find missing people in piles of rubble or a certain flower blooming amongst hundreds or thousands of other smells? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSniffer Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e you will meet many dogs and their handlers and learn all about their jobs. Some of these dogs are raised from birth to detect blood sugar levels in their owners. Others are rescued from animal shelters and their boisterous personalities help make them excellent sniffer dogs. Featuring a balance between science and social science, \u003ci\u003eSniffer Dogs \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to dog lovers and science lovers alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Castaldo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 054408893X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544088931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 7.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e166716 \/ Sniffer Dogs: How Dogs (and Their Noses) Save the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 - Recommended - Hard To Beat\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 pg. 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Castaldo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992228856063,"sku":"9780544088931","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05d6a9b2-9972-4612-bd34-d64d1bc38ace.jpg?v=1683314766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sniffer-dogs-nancy-castaldo-9780544088931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
