2013 Puppy Owners – Fahey.Ailagh

“Riley has a leg up, if you will, when it comes to rescue training. He is a natural. This summer we had a very good monsoon season, and soon we began to get some flooding in the burn scars left from the Little Bear Fire in 2012. Riley’s companion Monjeau (Aussie), while attempting to cross a swollen stream, fell into the water and began to be swept downstream. She floated downstream for a way, while Riley and I ran along with her in an attempt to get in front of her then jump in and save her. While I attempted to keep up with Riley, he ran alongside her on the stream’s edge. She came near to him just before some rapids came into the picture, and she risked going over them. At this point, she was beginning to tire when she went under the water. That was when Riley jumped in, looked around for her, and when he did not see her, he went under the water and rose up a few seconds later with her collar in his mouth, still attached to Monjeau! He pulled her out and up the bank, where they both just shook them selves off and went back to running through the meadow. I, of course, praised him for his bravery and commended him on his “save”. I realized then, that he is going to be a GREAT DOG!! – Paula Gunn, New Mexico
