Here are a few books our detection teams have been featured in, plus a few others we recommend!

Ball by Mary Sullivan
A 2014 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book
While not about our Rogue Dogs, if any of our dogs could write a book, it would be very similar to Mary Sullivan’s hilarious story.
A great resource on how odor moves on a landscape, “Cadaver Dog Handbook.”
Another great resource for those looking into getting into detection work, “Scent and the Scenting Dog.”
