"NetGalley Review: 4 stars Last updated on 08 Oct 2022 ""I learned a lot reading this. The first hand accounts are interesting. Anyone can enjoy this, including those considering working in a k9 unit. I really appreciate the free ARC for review!!""--Paul V, consumer reviewer NetGalley Review: 5 stars Last updated on 11 Aug 2022 ""This is a great inside look at the Search & Rescue groups and what it takes to dedicate your life to it. The book tells of different searches that Suzanne, her dog Keb, and her good friend and search support partner Guy volunteered on. The Oso landslide was harrowing to read about, with so many lost. It shows the variables between different types of searches and how wound up the searchers can get on the scene. Such an interesting read.""--Valerie Shampine, consumer reviewer"
