Kate, don't know if you've seen this, but it might be of interest as (I think) you help train these rescue chaps.

Hi Eric, thanks for posting that up. Yes, I know Helen and Cluanie. Cluanie's an absolutely gorgeous dog, and Helen's a very experienced SARDA handler. It's nice to see them getting on the news with this

Roos - I've met one of the local police cadaver dogs, though don't really want to think about how they train them

It is always a mystery to me why the marketing department of a pet food company havent twigged onto the SARDA dogs - bit like MRT teams getting gear, surely some company could supply the dog handlers with topknot nosh for the mutts?  Or...have I mised something?

(Cluanie looks a character)

Eric - yes, I have 'bodied' for Cluanie, and I was a 'casualty' found by her during her assessments last autumn when she qualified as a searchdog

GOM - already done; our SARDA South Wales team is sponsored by Burns dog food, which is a local company. , at least for the dogs!

Good.
