More than 2,000 people have been caught and buried in
avalanches in Switzerland alone, in recent years. Rescue dogs provide
valuable services in finding buried humans.Training these dogs is
time-consuming and a lot of endurance is required for both the dog and
his handler. I accompanied the avalanche rescue dog team under the
leadership of Nicole Dammann for a full day during their training
session in Melchsee Frutt. There I spent an hour buried in a narrow cold
snow cave to be searched for and rescued.
