The hopes of a search and rescue team were raised when "Fire," a search and rescue dog, signaled a human scent in a pile of rubble Tuesday, May 24, 2011, in Joplin, Mo. following the devastation caused by a tornado that swept through the city's central section on Sunday evening. The destroyed building, a dentist's office, had human dental impressions buried in the rubble, which triggered the dog's signal.
