On his first day out on a mission, search dog “Duey” found a missing man in the Amanda Park area last week in an operation in which the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office assisted the Quinault Indian Nation.
A Grays Harbor County Emergency Management news release said search dogs and ground searchers were requested to assist, and that Duey and his handler Shay Jones found the missing man about 15 minutes after their arrival.
“It was his first mission! Duey was newly tested as an air scent dog just a few days ago. Kudos to Duey and Shay,” the release said.
The West Coast Search Dogs, (of which Duey is a member), and the Search Dogs from Grays Harbor Volunteer Search & Rescue, and their handlers are often requested for not only Grays Harbor County searches, but for many other area searches “because of their professionalism, training, dedication and success, while providing services to those in need,” the news release said. “It is a testament to all of the various dog teams and search and rescue teams throughout the state, of their willingness to assist at any time, day or night, extreme heat or freezing cold, 365 days each year. These teams are highly successful in finding those lost and in need of assistance.”
