Mine Detection Dogs (MDDs)

Mine Detection Dogs (MDDs) to "sniff out" landmines, save lives and return the land to productive use. MDDs are one of the most efficient and effective detectors of landmines, searching an area 30 times faster than other demining tools and saving tens of thousands of lives.

Did you know that: A mine-dog can find a mine buried as much as 6 metres deep in the ground. It can also find mines that have been laying buried for over 40 years. On average, a mine-dog can find a mine 20 times faster than a mine-clearance worker using a metal detector. A mine-dog can liberate 800 sq. metres of cultivable land in a single working day.[http://www.npaid.org/Our-work/Mine-Actio… ]
