New Mission-Ready Search Dog

The Department now has a new mission-ready Area/Wilderness Search Dog Team. A member of the SBSD Search Dog Team, Kola, a Golden Retriever, and I took and passed our final wilderness dog test to become field certified. The final test covers 160 acres with two "lost" subjects placed somewhere out there, and must be completed within four hours.

I want to thank my teammates on the Search Dog Team. Without all their training help and expertise, we would never have made it. Kola in no way is replacing my dear Laddie, but now I have a dog to fill Laddie's shoes when he retires. He has taught Kola everything he knows! We look forward to working with everyone on the next call-out!
