Dio, a search and rescue dog with Wiltshire Search and Rescue, has passed his national assessment after nearly two years of training alongside his handler Louise. The qualification means Dio is now eligible for deployment during critical incidents.
Dio was joined by other trainee dogs from Hampshire, Berkshire and Dorset in passing the Lowland Rescue assessment. Wiltshire Search and Rescue said the dogs and handlers had 'met the standard to be able to be deployed life-and-death incidents' after their training scenarios.
The charity described the result as 'a big boost in the number of dogs that could be deployed in Wiltshire'. Wiltshire Search and Rescue has encouraged supporters to help by donating items from its Amazon wish list.
