Lovely, they truly are remarkable creatures.

This link was going around facebook this morning too, some amazing photos here: http://www.wildaboutpets.net/info/innewsdetail.asp?nid=25&ID=1148

I agree SC.

And so many breeds that people don't associate with search and rescue: greyhounds and small terriers, not just Goldens, Labs, Shepherds, Dobs and Rotties.

All extremely loved and well cared for. All highly trained. All volunteers.

I don't mean to hijack your thread, grumpette, but while on the subject of working dogs...... if anyone is interested in signing, there is a petition to lobby the United States Department of Defence to bring US Army dogs home to America instead of abandoning them in the conflict zone, as was the case in the Vietnam war.

Damn those tears. They are the noblest of animals.

It's all so sad. 13 years later, most of these dogs are gone now.

Thank you for sharing.
