Story4.5 out of 5 stars 575
From the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller, Scent of the Missing, comes a heartwarming and inspiring story that shows how dogs can be rescued and can rescue in return. For her first book, Susannah Charleson was praised for her unique insight into the kinship between humans and dogs, as revealed through canine search and rescue. In The Possibility Dogs Charleson chronicles her journey into the world of psychiatric-service and therapy dogs trained to serve the human mind, a journey that began as a personal one. After a particularly grisly search led to a struggle with PTSD, Charleson credits healing to her partnership with search dog Puzzle. Inspired by that experience and having met dogs formally trained to assist in such crises, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, often plucking them from shelters at the last minute, and to train them for work beside hurting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort, and hope.

A decade ago Special Forces warrior Jason Morgan parachuted into the Central American jungle on an anti-narcotics raid. He'd served with the famous Night Stalkers on countless such missions. This one turned out very different. Months later he regained consciousness in a US military hospital, with no memory of how he'd gotten there. The first words he heard were from his surgeon, telling him he would never walk again. The determined soldier responded, "Sir, yes, I will."

But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

As fans know, Chet first met Bernie on that fateful day when he flunked out of K-9 police school. The details of that day, though, have always remained a little vague (like so much in Chet’s doggy brain). All we know is that Chet had been the best leaper in his K-9 class, but for some reason he failed his final leaping test...and that a cat was involved...and that there was some blood. But whose?

Publisher's summary
After the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, Susannah Charleson was so impressed by the newspaper photo of an exhausted handler and his search-and-rescue dog that she decided to train a dog of her own. A dog lover and pilot with search experience herself, Charleson got Puzzle, a strong, bright Golden Retriever, who from the start, exhibited a unique aptitude for search-and-rescue work. But the puppy’s willfulness challenged even Susannah, who had raised dogs for years.
Scent of the Missing is the story of Susannah and Puzzle’s adventures and the complex relationship they forge as they help in the pursuit and recovery of people who have fallen prey to crime, misadventure, or catastrophe: a missing teenager, an Alzheimer’s patient wandering in the cold, signs of the crew amid the debris of the space shuttle Columbia disaster.
Critic reviews
“Riveting….All dog lovers should read this book.” (Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human)
“In this celebration of the human-animal bond, a fascinating woman has written eloquently about her fascinating colleague, Puzzle. I loved this book.” (Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs)

From the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller, Scent of the Missing, comes a heartwarming and inspiring story that shows how dogs can be rescued and can rescue in return. For her first book, Susannah Charleson was praised for her unique insight into the kinship between humans and dogs, as revealed through canine search and rescue. In The Possibility Dogs Charleson chronicles her journey into the world of psychiatric-service and therapy dogs trained to serve the human mind, a journey that began as a personal one. After a particularly grisly search led to a struggle with PTSD, Charleson credits healing to her partnership with search dog Puzzle. Inspired by that experience and having met dogs formally trained to assist in such crises, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, often plucking them from shelters at the last minute, and to train them for work beside hurting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort, and hope.

While hiking on a solo vacation in a remote, uninhabitable region of Arizona, Zachary Anderegg happened upon Riley, an emaciated puppy clinging to life, at the bottom of a 350-foot canyon. In a daring act of humanity that trumped the deliberate savagery behind Riley’s presence in such a place, Zak single-handedly orchestrated a rescue. What didn’t come out in the initial burst of publicity this story received is that Zak and Riley’s destinies were intertwined long before they improbably found each other.

In 2007, a few years after purchasing Bedlam Farm in upstate New York, Jon Katz met Maria Wulf, a quiet, sensitive artist hoping to rekindle her creative spark. Jon, like her, was introspective yet restless, a writer struggling to find his purpose. He felt a connection with her immediately, but a formidable obstacle stood in the way: Maria' s dog, Frieda. A rottweiler-shepherd mix who had been abandoned by her previous owner in the Adirondacks, where she lived in the wild for several years, Frieda was ferociously protective and barely tamed.

From the very beginning, Orson was a misfit. Like all border collies, he needed to work. But since there weren't any sheep available for herding in the New Jersey suburbs, Orson instead tried to corral school buses, garbages trucks, and skateboarding kids. So Katz pulled up stakes and moved to a farm in upstate New York. There, Orson improved dramatically - until the day he started nipping people. The nips soon turned to bites, forcing Katz to face an incredibly painful decision.

For any lover of dogs...
If you could sum up Scent of the Missing in three words, what would they be?
Interesting. Informative. Uplifting.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The dog!
What about Susannah Charleson’s performance did you like?
Nothing that stands out - she simply did justice to the story and was easy to listen to. Often I listen while in high noise environs, and this performance made the cut.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Best audio book I've heard--and I've heard a lot!
Where does Scent of the Missing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a wonderful book full of stories about dogs and their humans, people and their lost loved ones, details about what goes into the hard work of training Search and Rescue dogs.
Susannah is a terrific writer, and a great reader, and every so often you can hear the Texas in her voice, which I liked.

Beautifully written and narrated
Not the first I’ve listened to regarding K-9 or SARs but definitely the most personal and touching. She gave a more live and “walk with me” account of the path taken and the Challenger experience was humbling.
Wonderful sharing story.

Thank you
I've always wanted to understand more about SAR dogs, other than the vests they wear and how important they are in specific instances. I so appreciate this author and the lovely way she wrote about her favorite subject. I now know so much more than I did before! Thank you, Susannah!

This is fascinating stuff, and the author narrates beautifully. Someday I shall name a dog Puzzle (the star of this true story.) I've listened to this book, and her next two, countless times. It never gets old! Great family listening, fine for kids.

Where does Scent of the Missing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Well, I'm only 1/3rd of the way through, but I'd put it in the top 10.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Naturally the dog
Which scene was your favorite?
Don't know yet, not finished
Any additional comments?
Enjoyed learning more about Search and Rescue. Really enjoyed picking up ideas for how I can teach useful skills to future pets. Appreciated the positive reviews and importance to adopt, spay and neuter...and how very important it is to find a reputable breeder if someone is set on a particular breed. ...But dog/cat rescue is always better!
