Consequently, it is often used by authorities to track escaped prisoners, missing children, or earthquake victims. It is a scent hound, famed for its ability to follow a scent many days old, over vast distances. The bloodhound has thin, loose skin, hanging in folds about the head and neck, forming a dewlap; diamond-shaped, deep-set eyes, which give it a mournful appearance; long, soft ears falling in folds; a long neck; muscular sloping shoulders; and well-sprung ribs. It is red and tan, black and tan, or tawny.
