Today we honor Takoda, Ayla, Journey and Buster, real SAR or recovery dogs who work in the Eastern Sierra. Although their work might seem a bit grisly, they don't think so and demonstrate their enthusiasm and pride through their work ethic and good spirits. We talk about their breeds (Golden retriever, Swiss shepherd, Border collie, and Black lab), training, talents, and experiences. Some have been featured in the media, especially Buster, whose nose took him overseas to discover the remains of many MIA marines, and some toil in relative obscurity, even if their discoveries are very meaningful in the cases of those who are missing or dead. A warning that we do discuss cases of war, murder, and mayhem.The book the episode is based on:https://www.whistlingrabbitpress.com/product/working-dogs-of-the-eastern-sierra/The first episode we did about avalanche dogs:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/deardiscreetguide/episodes/2020-06-23T14_16_28-07_00Thoughts?
