This work follows the subject of "missing person behavior". The main objective is to analyze the behavior of people reported missing in the state of Santa Catarina – Brazil, between the years 2013 and 2019, where dog teams of the Military Firefighter Corps (CBMSC) were deployed. Ultimately it is expected to describe the specific behavior for different categories of missing people which may be revealed during the analysis. Different authors have been writing over this subject, such as William Syrotuck, Robert Koester, Dave Perkins and Pete Roberts, who have provided much of the basis for this study. In fact, these authors have given a solid background for this research. As important as understanding regional missing person behavior was verifying the quality of the reports currently available from CBMSC. The data collected made evident that categories such as individuals with depression and Alzheimer's disease lead the list of most rescued victims.
