犬界超級巨星 Canine Superstars
一起來認識SAR搜救犬！ Search-and-Rescue （SAR） Dogs
英雄以各種類型存在；各種形狀、各種大小，有些似乎還有超能力。
當自然災害發生或有人失踪時，大多數人都會希望身邊能有個超能力英雄；而這就是SAR搜救大登場的時候，SAR搜救犬在許多救援行動中提供協助。
搜救犬還是幼犬時，通常會與領犬員玩捉迷藏，領大員會逐漸增加口語命令並在指令完成時稱讚狗狗。
在這段期間，狗狗會努力發展達到訓練目的所需的服從、耐力和毅力。
到了約十八個月大時，狗狗便會開始與領犬員一起進行正式的認證過程。
搜救犬練習以三種方式定位人。
一是跟隨空氣中的氣味大致定位出人的位置。
其他兩種方式則比較明確；搜救大會練習循著地面線素追蹤或是跟著特定氣味的走向鎖定追蹤。

All manner of heroes exist. They come in all shapes and sizes, and some seem to have superpowers. Most people would like to have heroes with superpowers handy when natural disasters occur or anyone goes missing. Enter SAR dogs, who help in many rescue situations.
As puppies they usually play hide-and-seek with their handlers, who gradually add spoken commands and praise the puppies when successful. During this time, the dogs work on developing the obedience, endurance and determination needed to succeed. At about 18 months old, they begin the official process of becoming certified with their handlers.
SAR dogs train to locate people in one of three ways. One way is to follow scents in the air to locate humans in general. The other ways are more specific. SAR dogs train to follow tracks along the ground, or they learn to trail a specific scent no matter where it leads.
Avalanche searches
Avalanche rescue dogs fly in helicopters, ride on snowmobiles and ski down mountainsides on their handler's shoulders. Upon hearing the word "search," they take off through deep snow, sniffing for human scent. They begin digging where the scent is the strongest.

all manner of ＋（n.） 【manner 不用加s】

to come in all shapes and sizes
Well, I think of someone who is very good at fixing things.
We might call that person a handyman.
However, I also think of something that is very useful in the moment.
For example, our lesson talks about someone going missing.
Well, sometimes in the winter, if someone goes missing and they're out stuck in the snow, there's a kind of dog called the St. Bernard.聖伯納犬
And the classic picture is they have this barrel of whiskey or some kind of liquor around their neck.
But what do you think of when you think of something handy?
When I think of handy, yeah, I would think of something that's useful, or I would think of a handyman.
That's someone who could fix something or make anything that they choose.
They're handy to have around.
They are usually good at fixing things around the house like changing light bulbs or fixing things when they break or even maybe fixing the plumbing.
Now we usually call someone a handyman if it's someone that we know and maybe their job is not an official like plumber or repairman or something.
Like, for example, someone in your family might just be really good at fixing things, and you could say, "Oh, I'm so glad he or she is around. She is our handyman or handywoman," right?
