North Macomb search and rescue dogs earn certification
Graduation ceremonies for most local students occur in June, but a unique group of northern Macomb students graduated Oct. 1 with certifications that will save lives.
The dogs from the Richmond Volunteer Fire Department and Lenox Township Fire Department celebrated their certification as search and rescue dogs with a graduation ceremony on Oct. 1 in Richmond. The dogs have been trained specifically to locate missing persons, such as cases of medical emergencies and lost children or senior citizens.
