Ethical Principle

Behind every mission lie human destinies. A person is missing – the uncertainty gnaws at everyone involved and leaves deep marks. The relatives are driven by fear and worry for their missing and beloved person. Often, the victims are only found dead. The relatives, the volunteers, the emergency responders from police and rescue services – all ask themselves the same question: “Did we do everything right?”

Respect for the victims and their families forbids using missions for advertising or public relations. The families know what dogs are capable of.

The opportunity to help is motivation enough. Public representation at the expense of those seeking help is prohibited. This does not align with the moral principles of Human Remains Detection Dog INTERNATIONAL.
