Search and rescue K-9 trained from necessity
HANNIBAL, MO. — Zeus the German Shepherd has been sniffing out the missing for about a year.But he and his owner Wesley Neff aren’t part of any local police force.
In fact they make up their own Search and Rescue team which serves Northeast Missouri, and rural towns which don’t have the resources to have one of its own.




The German Shepherd Dog, also known as Alsatian is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany which dates back in 1899. Developed originally for herding sheep but because of their strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training, today they are often employed as police war dogs.
