#Congratulations Holly

 

Congratulations to Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England (MRSDE) and Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) search dog Holly and handler Al Pepper who, over last weekend, passed their final assessment to become an operational Mountain Rescue Search Dog Team.

 

It takes years of hard work, training and plenty of treats to get to the level required to become operational.  This included their final assessment that took place over 3 days in the Lake District, where 5 mountain areas needed to be cleared and all the volunteers who where hiding, found.

 

Rumour has it celebrations included snacks, belly rubs and a dram of whisky.  Holly got some snacks too!

 

A huge well done from everyone at CVSRT.
