Search and rescue dogs are an integral part of many crisis management teams. Recently, the trainers at “Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England” shared a thrilling video of their brilliant rescue dog, Flo, in action!
Flo is a 4-year-old Border Collie from Edale Mountain Rescue Team, and she has been trained to perform various tasks related to search and rescue in the exhausting mountainous terrains.
In this video from one of Flo’s training sessions, we see how she responds in times of emergency. One of the staff volunteered to be buried in a snow bank for this rescue session. Flo’s primary task was to locate the volunteer.

Through a camera planted on the volunteer, we see the exact moment when Flo tracks him down and initiates the rescue.
She vigorously paws through the snow and reaches out to the volunteer within seconds! Her drive and confidence to save the “person in distress” is truly unbelievable!

For people trapped in the snow due to accidents, or for unfortunate adventure sports mishaps, well-trained search and rescue dogs can prove to be a vital life-saving force.
Flo has already participated in over 30 operational calls for missing persons. What an adorable little hero! Go Flo!
