For a human or mammalian infant , put it to the breast and watch if it seeks the nipple on its' own. If your'e looking for truffles, whether with a pig or a dog , let them smell a truffle in a cloth sack, then walk them around a know area to see if they find any. Dogs are becoming more common truffle hunters , as the pigs had a tendency to eat them.
