Life is a Game for Ski Patrol DogsSki patrol dogs are an integral part of ski slopes. They use their amazing sense of smell to locate people who've been buried under avalanches or who have been injured skiing. A lot of their time is taken up by training, but that doesn't mean they don't have fun! Finding buried treasure is their dearest game, but they also enjoy running and sliding on the snow, riding snowmobiles and chairlifts, and generally having a great time with their human and canine co-workers in the snow. Meet the delightful dogs of Big Sky Resort.

Rescued from a Dog Fighting Ring, Hansel the Pit Bull Escaped Euthanasia and Became an Arson Detection K-9It appears that Hercules isn't the only one who transformed into a hero in an instant.Come meet Hansel, ajoyful pit bull with a heart-warming smile. Hansel was rescued at the age of 7 weeks from an alleged Canadian dog fighting ring and was about to be euthanized. Thankfully, he was adopted by a Florida shelter before being taken in by the Philadelphia-based Throw Away Canines Project, which trains dogs to become K-9 officers.Tyler Van Leer, a Millville Fire Department firefighter, is now in charge of Hansel. Van Leer was seeking a department dog that could aid them with fire detection and serve as a community ambassador. When a police officer and Carol Skaziak, the founder of Throw Away Dogs, heard about this, they brought Hansel to the firehouse in September. After meeting, the two became best buds.Since graduating in January 2020, Hansel has conducted over 3000 searches after focusing on smell training at the academy. He is now an arson detection dog, capable of detecting flammable materials such as kerosene and lighter fluid.Images by: Savannah Young and Erik Larson #pitbull #RescueDog #Hansel #PitBull #Rescue #FireFighter #Hero
