    There’s also those huge rats they train to find landmines… rats are truly under appreciated.

    They also can detect mines and have been highly successful in saving countless limbs/lives in that field too(no pun intended). https://apopo.org/?v=0b3b97fa6688

        Probably something other than gps, because that doesnt work when under a bunch of rubble. Well thats what i assume because gps doesnt even work inside uncollapsed buildings.

      Some sort of signal emitter maybe? So the rescue team knows to look where the hero rat triggered it.
