Meet Myra, a 3 month old puppy who will soon enroll in avalanche rescue dog training. In a few weeks, Myra and her dad will start taking classes, for a total of 8 hours a week.
In November, they will have to spend a full month in the mountains of Engadine and train together every single day.
Myra can already find treats hidden by her dad under 5 feet of snow.
Last week, Myra's 5-year-old fur-brother lost his battle against bone cancer. Myra continues to look for him all over because his smell sticks to the snow. She keeps wondering where he's hiding.
He's not hiding, dear Myra. He's watching over you as he runs free across that great meadow in the sky.
Aw, so sorry for the loss of her brother. What a beautiful and talented Myra you have though! :)
ReplyDeleteMyra, you is very brave to keep up all of your good searchings even when you is hurting from the loss of a loved one. You is a very noble dog.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Reuben
Oh what a dear little dog. Myra, you are so beautiful. Although I do get a bit nervous reading about these working pups, feeling a potential threat to my status as laddie of leisure...

Wow, that's fascinating! Best of luck to Myra with her training!

ReplyDeleteDachshund Daddy met a very special new friend indeed! Myra is so beautiful and clearly very bright, loving, and purposeful. Her brother is indeed watching over her, and Myra and the other rescue dogs are watching over us in the mountains. An inspiring story; thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMyra has true inner-outer beauty. I'm sorry she lost her brother so tragically.

Only 5 years old :( that's sad. Maybe your mama and papa will get you another brother or sister soon, Myra. Sounds like you have an excellent nose already X
