The Trentino Mountain and Cave Rescue Dog Unit represents an irreplaceable partnership: man and dog, united by a unique bond, are able to successfully carry out complex rescue operations involving the search for missing persons or those caught in avalanches. Trained from puppyhood to treat searching as a game, the dog becomes not only a working partner but a true companion for life, capable of making a difference in a rescue operation thanks to its sense of smell and rapport with its handler.
