Rescue dogs can be awfully cute, but they have very important jobs to do that save people’s lives. Wylie, the nine-year old Australian shepherd knows this all too well, and takes his job very seriously. He has to go through regular training exercises to keep his skills ans his nose up to snuff.
Here we seem him going through one of the staged situations to ensure that he isn’t slacking off on his job. They dig a deep hole and have one of the training crew to get inside before the hole is covered up again. At the top of the slope, Wylie’s let off his leash and he goes in a frantic search to see if anyone’s been buried. He finds the spot right away and starts digging, glad to see that the person on the other side is still alive!
