while someone is still lost in the woods! Elizabeth Fossett of York, Maine, Kobuk’s owner/ handler recalls one such rescue mission: “Everyone began to feel the urgency knowing we were searching for a 77 year old woman with diabetes and dementia, who had been lost for more than two nights in the woods of Maine. Ruth Brennan had no water, no food nor her medications, so the Maine Warden Service with a crew of over 146 people knew our mission was time sensitive to locate her‌ soon! After hours of searching that third morning, Kobuk’s nose went up into the slight wind now from our north west, and he
ran off almost 2/10 of a mile to locate her, according to our GPS unit that tracks his collar. Kobuk sprinted back to me, and gave a loud bark (his trained alert that he has found someone), then he spun around and bolted with me in full pursuit. It was so exhilarating! Kobuk had found Ruth Brennan, just in time to save her life!� Recently, the Maine Search and Rescue Dog team presented a very special program for children at the York Library that educated them on what to do if they get lost in the woods. A DVD film was shown by MESARD, and then Kobuk demonstrated how a search dog finds lost kids in the woods. Kobuk deserves
