More: Gauge is a nationally certified Search & Rescue K9. This pic he was swimming out to an island to find his lost subject during a training seminar. Since then we had a callout to find a lost man with a life threatening medical condition. From the start of our search task of 25 acres with thick dense woods, it took Gauge 32 minutes to find him and saved his life! At 2.5 yrs old Gauge had his first find in his search career. He loves his job of finding lost and missing people.
