(More customer reviews)Being and animal lover it was more than anything the stories about the bonds forged between the dogs and their "persons" that drew me in. I'd always looked at dogs sniffing through rubble and thought "that's all there is." How wrong I was. Search and Rescue gave me a glimpse into the years long training, the poignant and oftimes funny adventures, the sacrifices and fortitude on the part of both person and dog that it takes to do this work. I was fascinated by the interactions between peoples of all nationalities, how they worked together all over the world, and the inside workings of the governments behind the scenes. What touched me the most was what Search and Rescue came to mean to one courageous woman and her three white German Shepherds. Search and Rescue will bring smiles, tears and understanding to all who read it.

IF THERE'S A SCENT OF HOPE, THEY'LL LEAD THE WAYThis is one of the most amazing and inspiring books you will ever read. It is the true story of Beth Barkley and her German Shepherds, Panda and Czar--all members of a task-force affiliated with the Virginia Department of Emergency Services in Fairfax. Beth and her dogs have traveled to disasters around the world--from El Salvadoran earthquakes to to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing--on a remarkable mission of mercy. Together they comb through acres of death in search of the breath of life.In SEARCH AND RESCUE you will share in the rigorous volunteer training that has turned Beth into one of the top dog handlers in America. This is a book that puts you on the scene as her animals pinpoint the slightest sounds or detect scents hundreds of yards away, buried beneath tons of rubble. Inside are stories of extraordinary poignancy, of sorrow and sadness, of triumph in the face of tragedy--moments of compassion and courage you will never forget.
