"This book keeps with the tradition of Sarasota K-9 Search and Rescue, Inc. to educate children and keep them safe without sacrificing their innocence in the process." Chuck Johnston - Fire Service/Emergency Management Chief, Ret. "The best way to protect our children is to not only teach them about the wonders of this world but to prepare them for the dangers that exist within it and how they can deal with or avoid them when we are not by their side." Edward J. McCrane -Emergency Management Chief, Sarasota County, FL In 1994, Patricia Abrams and her husband, Joe, founded a search team called, Sarasota K-9 Search and Rescue Team, Inc. in Sarasota, Florida. This team was built on the premise of finding the lost, educating the community on safety, and working professionally side by side with all agencies to provide a successful outcome to all missions. The team has earned the respect and accountability from the state of Florida with many award accommodations. This book is written for the heroes of the team, the search dogs themselves. For without their courage and determination to serve humanity, people will not understand the bond between human and canine and what miracles will be produced to make a difference in the lives of families. This book is dedicated to our community's children so they can appreciate and learn the service that these search dogs provide.
