Episode of Series “Sentinel”.
Concealed explosives have maimed and killed Australians in military conflict and society because they do not necessarily incorporate metallic components and are undetectable by conventional machines. The use of a special breed of German Shepherd dog by the Royal Australian Engineers promises greater security.
