Some of you may have noticed my new avatar, this is not the "real" Mountain dog.
Caileag was a search and rescue/recovery dog I had when I lived in the Rocky mountains. I got into search and rescue training after 9/11.
Caileag was a excellent search dog and loved her job.
She died at the age of five due to some drugies putting out poison to kill the cats in the neigbourhood.
Caileag served her country with pride! Her work vest had a American flag on it, she has worked in deep snow and has been flown in airplanes to do her job, mountain dog now wears her vest to carry on the tradition.
My avatar is dedicated to all the working dogs and all the hard work they do.
