Brenner on his first "search" for the remains of a missing person in Glacier
National Park. This was held almost a year (7-03) after the Roberts Fire
devestated
the Lake McDonald area. After working the burned out areas, Bren takes to the
lake to cool off and look a little less like a long coated Dutch Shepherd (can
you say
DIRTY?). His owner/handler wished she could have joined him.

Climbing a tall slash pile during a First Responder Disaster seminar. Brenner
was less concerned than I by the trecherous footing (wet logs are not easy to
scramble up). This particular pile was approx. 20+ feet high with lots of
hidden holes to fall in. The "victim" was hidden in the center of the
pile.

Search dogs need to be flexible and ride on any form of
transportation...snowmobiles included.

Brenner demonstrating skills
necessary for his Disaster First
Responder searching (building
and rubble). Any doubt that he
found his hider in the building?
