Taser the Bloodhound on the trail at Columbia's National Night Out

Owner Robert Hetter attaches a harness to Taser the bloodhound at the start of a tracking demo.

 After allowing Taser to smell an article of clothing of a "missing girl," they're off and running.

Within a minute or so, Taser has found the "missing girl."  His reward is a can of cat food.
Yes, cat food!  That's not a misprint.

Go HERE to see a video of Taser in action.
