Wahsatch
- Golden Retriever
Search & Rescue Dog with
Rocky
Mountain Rescue Dogs
From Darrick, Wahsatch’s
partner:
"Wahsatch and I are with Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs. We are
an all volunteer rescue team who provide our services to any police
agency requesting them. We do wilderness/area searches, avalanche
rescues, water recovery, disaster recovery, human tracking/trailing,
and cadaver. Our group is able to dispatch anywhere in the country
if called upon.
"Wahsatch is a 1 year old Golden Retriever and has a remarkable
knack for trailing/tracking in a wilderness setting. His drive and
focus once on the trail is amazing, and if it weren’t for the
20 foot tracking leash between him and myself, he would be at the
victims side in a matter of seconds. Like most Goldens, he
thrives on attention, so a victim to him is just another person who
will pet him and show him affection. He loves to please and is eager
to learn, and shows it by barking happily as he performs each command,
such as sit or down.
For Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs, he and all the other dogs in the
organization are the most vital tools used in our search scenarios.
But more than that, they are our partners, our best friends, and
all are a part of the SAR family.
Fide Canem…Trust the Dog."
Thank you to all the dogs
and their partners out there that dedicate so much time and money
to save us from harm.
