Scientist Profile: Dog Handler

Dr. Ben Ho trains dogs in search and rescue (SAR) techniques, and his "partner" is a German shepherd named Argus. Together, Ben and Argus work with Wilderness Finders Search and Rescue to find missing people, which has included lost hikers, natural disaster victims, or even survivors of the extreme 9/11 tragedy in New York City. Ben is one of the leading rescue workers in the nation and has been recognized for his work many times.
