All people are essentially a scent generator.
Scent can be thought of as a pollutant just like smoke. Humans, alive or dead, constantly emit microscopic particles bearing human scent. Millions of these are airborne and are carried by the wind for considerable distances. The SAR dog is trained to locate the scent of human in the specific search area.
