Chatting to Susan Mills - animal portrait artist - about science, art and her book of portraits and stories, The Human Rescuers.  I also met her three inimitable dogs: Bonny, Peanut and Baby.

Walking the Connemara hills with SARDA Ireland

Dedicated to the training and deployment of Air Scenting Search and Rescue Dogs, SARDA Ireland’s objective is to assist in the search and rescue of missing persons on the hills or wherever they may be.

I spent a few hours being their dogsbody, that is, acting as a 'missing person' for the dogs to find.  I spoke to Edelle (and Jessie) and Jarlath (and Sid and Shadow) all about the technicalities, difficulties - and fun! - of working with search and rescue dogs.
