Our four-legged friends are helping save the lives of women, girls, boys and men every day by finding landmines.
Most people know that dogs can detect illnesses. But they can also detect landmines.
Donate £17 and you could help feed a life-saving landmine sniffer dog for a month.
Often, the ground is covered in dense vegetation in Cambodia, making it difficult for our team to survey an area. However, dogs can easily navigate these areas, sniffing out where the landmines are located.
It sounds like a dangerous job, but our dogs are always in safe hands. The bond between our dogs and their handlers is incredibly strong. When they think they have found an explosive, the dogs are trained to sit in front of the area and point to it with their nose. Their weight means they don’t detonate the explosives - they are amazing.
