Don’t be too optimistic about the search dogs. Many agencies are reluctant to call them in because they don’t want to share the credit for finding the missing person. In one case I know of personally, the agencies searched for four days for a missing elderly dementia patient before finally calling in the search dogs when the family threaten to take them to court. The patient was found 100 yards away from the agencies search command post. Fortunately, the patient survived.
Some agencies have their own search dogs, but in many of those cases, both the dog and the handler are badly trained and barely know what they’re doing.
And that was one of the reasons I kept a small baggy of dog biscuits in a top pocket of my flight suit (I flew search and rescue with the Civil Air Patrol for a time). They trained the dogs with similar treats and I was told it would likely improve the chances of being found had I needed it (fortunately, I never did 8^).

Do your hamburgers taste like…..dogfood?

No need for hamburgers. Just don’t use deodorant before you start hiking…the dogs will still find you.

So will the bears in the neighbourhood.

I don’t think that I’d like cold hamburgers in cold & soggy buns that have been in a back-pack for several hours.

We used to joke, “carry hot dogs. They’ll find you first”

If you’re in the mountains of Canada or the US, the pumas will certainly be stalking you.

The bird dogs will find them even if they aren’t lost.

Use jerky. The difference between dog treats and jerky is desperation.

There must be a Wally bear hiding somewhere in the woods!

Could have just tied a pork chop to you nephew… unless there are bears around.
