Cadaver Dog

 
This is a dog that has been trained in the specialty of locating the scent of decomposing human tissue.  The dog may be asked to locate a whole corpse (as in a missing person presumed dead), or only body parts from catastrophic trauma such as natural disasters, or foul play with subsequent body dismemberment.  A cadaver dog generally has first mastered other forms of searches before being trained to the rigorous demands of this type of work.
