Members of the Washington County K-9 Search & Rescue Unit take a break between staged trainings.
J. Froelich

A group of service dogs and their owners gather several times each week to learn and practice critical search and rescue skills. The training takes place under the watchful eye of Washington County Search & Rescue Team K-9 Program coordinator, Chris Westminster. We get lost on a training mission near a forested lake to observe how the all-volunteer K-9 team operates.
