NPA Explosive Detection Dogs

Siem Reap


Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) has been training sniffer dogs to assist in landmine clearance in Cambodia and not had a single casualty to date. See these Belgian Malinois thoroughbreds in action as they go through the paces of an assault course for daily exercise and sniff out buried TNT. Some congratulatory petting is allowed at the show's end.
