Bloodhound
A bloodhound is a large dog breed with droopy ears, loose skin, and an extraordinarily keen sense of smell, originally bred for tracking game and later used to trail people.
The breed's name reflects its aristocratic lineage—a "blooded" hound of pure breeding.
Bloodhounds are famous for their ability to follow scent trails days old, making them invaluable in search-and-rescue operations and criminal investigations.
Figuratively, someone called a bloodhound is relentlessly persistent in tracking down information or people.
