Saliva Sniffing Dog To Help Find Missing Kids

Published: May 26, 2006

Police, lawmakers, and dentists from Massachusetts will get together at the State House Thursday to unveil 2 new tools to track missing children.

One of them is actually a dog from the Dracut Police Department named Mason. He can trace missing kids from the scent of human saliva left on dental toothprints.

State senator Jarrett Barrios says the second tool will expand a program that would allow more children to get their toothprints taken through public schools.

Thursday is National Missing Children’s Day.

There are currently 22 missing children in Massachusetts.
