UK rescuers hope to get paws on new 'dog-cam'

In the video below from the BBC, a dog equipped with a new camera system is able to help rescuers easily find an individual trapped in a collapsed house as part of a training exercise.

British firm Wood & Douglas has developed a canine-mounted "dogcam" known as PAWS, which stands for portable, all-terrain, wireless system, according to ABC News.
