Avalanche rescue dogs are the best, right? We can all agree on that.
There’s nothing that warms my heart more than seeing an avalanche rescue dog on duty when I’m skiing a resort out west. Knowing that a furry friend will be there to save me or another fellow skier or rider in an avalanche is a security blanket I want to take a nice snooze in by a warm fire.
The video below by OPB provides an excellent window into the avalanche rescue dogs of Mt. Bachelor, OR. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did!
OPB: “At Mount Bachelor in Oregon, there’s a special unit of workers dedicated just to avalanche rescue—and the training starts young!
