A great day's training with our Volunteer Ian. The searches proved to be a challenge for the boys because of the temperature, but shorter search times and plenty of breaks and water had them achieving a 100% success rate!

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of Retired Fire Investigation Search Dog Ruby, aged 14 1/2 years.
After a long illness, Ruby was today put to sleep in her home with her family and familiar smells and sounds around her.
Run free, Ruby.
Ruby served the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight between 2014 and 2019, helping investigators to secure many convictions.
Dogs lives are too short, that's their only fault, really. Agnes Sligh Turnbull.
Today, while Search Dogs Eric, Saxon and Harley attended an incident in Southampton, Hoodie and Red had the pleasure of meeting the Get Started Group, @StMarys54
Hoodie and Red wish you all the best with your pass out parade tomorrow! You'll smash it! 🐾🐾
Happy 1st Birthday to Trainee Fire Investigation Search Dogs Red and Saxon.
They came to us at eight weeks old and immediately started their training. They've developed into two of the keenest, most focused, inquisitive and dare I say mischievous boys!
A trip across the Solent today for search Dogs Hoodie & Red to assist @HantsPolice CSI with an investigation.
Thanks to @bartlettsiow for looking after the investigators with tea & coffee! 🐾🐾
