Search & Rescue
| Sam honing in on human scent during a demo problem. |
| I love this shot! Even though it is blurry, you can really tell how much Sam loves to do this kind of work. This picture was taken from the "victims" point of view as Sam comes in to make his find. |

I train with Search and Rescue Dogs of Maryland (SARDOM). Minerva was intended as my
primary Search Dog, but she didn't work out and is now enjoying the good life as the household
pet and love-bug. When I realized that Minerva wasn't going to work out, I gave Sam a try and
he has excelled in Airscent work. He is now a NASAR Canine SARTECH II certified Airscent Area
Search Dog!

| A formal photo that was taken at the SMAWL Animal Fair in May 2008 with both Inara and Sam. Inara is no longer training for SAR. Though she liked to go out and track, she wasn't interested enough to work consistently. She now enjoys the "lazy" life of sleeping on the couch at home. |
