Lincoln is known as what's called an "air scent dog," which means he can search for any person without using a physical piece of clothing or any other item with that person's scent. "Whether it's 100 yards, or whether it's five hours on a mountainside-- it's really all the same thing," Izant said. He is also a certified human remains detection dog.
"He knows what's going on when he gets out and sees the sheriff's car. He sees his other search friends and he knows he has to get the work," Izant said. "It's quite impressive because he's a very social dog who loves to play with other dogs, but when he's working, he tends to ignore them and is laser-focused."return home after she went missing for six hours.
"I think it'd be wonderful for Pacific Northwest search dogs in general, I would be proud beyond words, it would be a wonderful tribute," Izant said.
