Search & Rescue

I mentioned in my profile that I am a volunteer of SCDF's Search & Rescue Dog Unit right? By this February, it would have been 3 years since I started doing this. Despite that, I still love volunteering cos I got rewarded with a special rugby ball. This ball is very very precious to me, as I only get to play with it twice a month!

I got my basic certification last year, and was given a Certificate and a SCDF Dog Vest. Alas, the vest is too big for me as SCDF did not think they would have a small rescue dog. So, I can only wear this vest to take a picture. For real rescue work, I still have to rely on my cheap DAISO vest.

Me in my hard-earned Vest.














Today, we had to find the victim hidden underground. There were so many openings, and the scent were everywhere.. and I had to find the spot with the strongest scent within mins. Officer later said we all did a good job as we only barked where his scent is the strongest (victim had crawled underground from one end, but we barked at the other end where the wind direction ends)

I can smell the victim.. but exactly where is him?
Time is ticking.. I must find him fast!














Scent is a bit faint... don't think this is the right place!















Here?















Yes.... this is the spot!! (barking incessantly now)














Stallion and me waiting for the next exercise to begin



















On the way home, I wonder what Jack is up to alone at home. I know HC gave him some treats in the treat ball (HC : Jack never gets to play the treat ball cos Joey is always guarding it. Today's a good time to let Jack play with the treat ball) ... or maybe Jack is sobbing at home cos he is alone? hiak hiak hiak

I imagine him sleeping on the hard floor by the door waiting for us!
