Bandit, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bandit
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Sarasota, Florida, USA
 
   My dog is Bandit. Bandit was rescued from Animal Services in Sarasota Florida. Bandit is currently a Search and Rescue dog for Sarasota K-9 Search and Rescue. She is trained to find people, live or dead. I have trained Bandit for five years. Her training consists of agility (ladders, teeter totters, a-frames), advanced obedience, boat training, riding in helicopters and airplanes, rubble piles and much more. She is also a certified therapy dog. This is important because after a disaster she helps to comfort the family. When Bandit and I are training, it's a game to her. She doesn't understand the importance of what she does. She doesn't know that these games can save someone's life. Bandit is my partner and friend. I'm blessed.
