It is written in simple language, tons of illustrations and explains allot of questions that new SAR Canine Handlers would have. I plan on making it required reading for new handlers on our SAR team. It is also not biased towards one SAR skill set or dog breed as so many books of this type are. I recommend this Book for any newer SAR Canine Handler.
