My name Jose Ignacio Munoz Quijada. I am a 4th year Industrial Design Student at Massey University. This is an invitation to participate in a research project that I am leading for the paper 198.453 Industrial Design Research and Development, a Final-year project for Bachelor of Design (Honours) (Industrial Design) . Your agreement to be involved in this research project would be greatly appreciated.
 
The aim of this project is to design for search & rescue dog, a protective/safety equipment that aids the well being of search & rescue dogs and ability to perform at their job, all while providing comfort to the dog.
 
This research study aims to understand the work of search and rescue dogs and the challenges, problems and or issues that are encountered by the dogs and their handlers regarding the safety and well being of the working dogs.  


Approximate duration of the survey:  5 - 8 minutes
