Moose - Wilderness and Advanced Urban Tracking

Toddler is found alive by K-9 Moose!

In July 2007, Moose performed an outstanding track and undoubedly saved the life of a two year old toddler who wandered away from his parents trailer in the Sierra Madre Mountain Range in WY. The toddler had been missing for 4 1/2 hours when Cathy and Moose arrived at the scene. Moose was placed in his tracking harness and his lead attached.

Moose picked up on the family's anxiety and his body language said "lets get going!" Darkness was fast approaching with the temperature dropping.

Cathy and Moose were provided an article with the toddlers scent and started searching near the trailer. Moose picked up the toddlers scent immediatly and tracked him through the forest, down and across ridges and a small stream.

Moose started pulling extemly hard wanting to go further down the ridge. His lead was unhooked and Moose contunued running down the ridge another 50 yards, disapearing into the trees. At this point, Cathy and Moose had tracked 1 mile, covering the distance in 35 minutes.

Moose ran back to Cathy and dropped a camouflage baseball cap at her feet. Cathy then asked Moose to "show her". Moose took Cathy back to the area where the toddler was sitting next to juniper bushes. Cathy did a quick physical assesment on the toddler making sure he wasn't injured. She picked up the toddler, hugged him and told him she was taking him back to his mommy; the toddler hugged her tightly and put his head on her shoulder. Moose was bouncing up and down as they walked out of the woods towards the head lights of the waiting ATV's and the boy's mom.
What an AWESOME rescue!
