On Monday, January 16, 2012, Kate Horwick from the National Search Dog Foundation (SDF) picked up dogs from a facility in Valencia, CA., to be tested for viability as an urban search dog. Many of these dogs were abandoned on the sides of roads and/or left in shelters to die. If they pass the test, SDF trains them, has them FEMA certified and pairs them with handlers to find disaster survivors. Roy, not ready for training yet, was left behind and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. (Photo by Victoria Linssen / Brooks Institute ©2012.)
