we are able to share...
 Since 9/11, SAR dogs are allowed to travel inside the cabin of the plane |
 However, the dogs are expected to lie down calmly during the flight |
 This does not stop the flight attendant from enjoying the presence of the dogs... |
 On transit in Munich (Germany) during one of our trips |
 Yet another journey, another airport Here in Brussels (Belgium) |
 Someone always gets stuck with the dogs and the luggage. Valencia airport (Spain). |
 Travelling with dogs in foreign countries is not always easy. Here, in a garbage truck... |
 In Brussels however, we were lucky and the trailer was just perfect! |
 Going on a mission: the local Air Force is often helpful in taking us near the disaster zone |
 Sometimes, an helicopter is the best mode of transportation to reach the affected area |
 The local Police is always happy to offer a hand |
 While working, local pickups are aften the transport of choice |
 A Search and Rescue dog must be sociable and like people... |
 They must love people... (Well perhaps not that much!...) |
 They must enjoy listening to their handler (or at least pretend!) |
 Obedience is important. Here, the dog lies down off leash until ordered to work |
 Exercises of dexterity are also important. Here, Tzar learns to go down a ladder |
 Soon, he will get the hang of it. Ladders are not easy for every dog |
 Search and Rescue dogs also learn to go through tunnels |
 We use pipes of all sizes so that the dog will not hesitate to enter caves, tunnels and manholes |
 Here, Amex is coming out of an underground tunnel |
 We teach the dog to walk on tilting long and narrow planks |
 Or on unstable long ones. Here, the plank is resting on two barrels |
 Now, Dante can cross a deep gap between two parts of a collapsed building |
