Trained especially to detect humans beneath the debris of fallen buildings by just smelling the scent of them or aid their handlers in difficult operations during the aftermath of natural disasters, the canine squads of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has a crucial role to play in saving human lives. 

The NDRF's dog squad is trained to immediately respond to extreme situations where machines or humans cannot reach and give positive results during their duties. However, it takes extensive training, and dedication of the handlers and officials to train the canines for their duties where time is considered to be most crucial.
