A Tribute to Search and Rescue Dogs

This tribute provides a glimpse into the unique bond between search and rescue dogs and their handlers. Over 50 handlers shared their deepest thoughts ranging from the elation of a successful search to the deepest depression after losing a partner. These anthologies were compiled so that we shall always remember them...the amazing SAR dogs, their handlers and trainers.Handlers from across the USA have come together to preserve the memories of their canine partners over the course of the last fifty years and hundreds of search missions. Examples of canine bravery, handler frustration, extreme courage, loyalty, and love for their canines are shared as the handlers from California, Washington, Ohio, Illinois, Wyoming, New York, Florida, Texas, Vermont, North Carolina and many points between share their experiences. These heart-warming memories foster a deep appreciation for the skills and services provided by search and rescue personnel. Thank you to all.
