Rescue dogs jump from a helicopter to save lives

The success story of the Cani Salvataggio, the worldwide unique water rescue dog squadron, began at the end of the 1980s on the Lake Garda. The Italian Rescue Dog Squadron is composed of Newfoundlanders and retrievers - dogs that love water and weigh at least 30 kilograms. Together with their masters, they are trained as lifeguards for three years. Ferruccio Pilenga, the founder of the Italian Rescue Dog School, accompanied the training sessions and observed the climax of the training: the jump of dog and master from the helicopter.

[@JesusMartinez-kx4zq]

So sorry for your loss but am sure he is watching u from up in the sky

[@caitlinhalliday4468]

This is my 16 month son’s favorite video. He can’t say “dog” or “helicopter” yet but he can sign them and asks every day for me to turn this on. Thank you!

[@caitlinhalliday4468]

It’s been two weeks and this is STILL my 17 month old’s favorite thing to watch. Nothing else will suffice.

[@poloplatinum74]

I'm just confused... what is the point in training a dog to do water rescue. Dogs are not super strong swimmers and it seems like it'd be much smarter to have to humans do that job instead of human and dog.

[@DivineMizE]

He was so encouraging to his dog and she felt it. Sweet!!!

[@TheAussilab]

The newfound dog staring at the helicopter like take me to the helicopter NOW

[@theonewhonamemustnotbespok7579]

[@juicejuicy]

I wonder if the water gets in the dogs noses and chokes them when they jump in? I know they must be used to it but mine can’t even take a shower without choking

[@proamptik7015]

my dog would be pooping n peeing in helicopter

[@edwi3719]

[@rachelc5728]

My mom keeps trying to do water work with her Newfoundland but he is afraid to swim He is the odd one out

[@berniecoles2337]

I couldn’t do it. My dog would be in the helicopter on its bed and I’d be the one hurling myself out.🤪

[@Jvset]

[@denisemezynski8014]

I simply LOVE what these dogs do!! But, that owners\ trainers Haven't Trained their dogs to Swim and be lifted off the ground?? Is really naive on Owners\ Trainers part, I mean its Rescue after all !! 🤕

[@jericho1-4]

Truth be told as a member of a SAR team with a k-9 tandem component I agree wholeheartedly. Furthermore in my 12 plus years in this occupation I have never seen K-9's used in such a way or with such disregard for both the K-9's and rescuee's safety/survivibility. Any handler who has not completed certification or been given proper training prior to such exercises should not be allowed to participate PERIOD. Clearly that is not the case in his video, where obvious novice and intermediate K-9 tandems are taking part in said exercise, putting both in a dangerous position. For all intents and purposes it appears these are primarily civilian volunteers many of whom are not in the best physical shape and others who lack the proper certified training and real world experience to perform ANY SAR Op's which can have disastrous outcomes. There are several factors that can take a Rescue Operation (individual/s to be recued are still alive) to a Recovery Operation (The individual/s who were to be rescued are now deceased and the operation has transitioned to body recovery) in a short time. Sending inexperienced individuals out to do the job that truly calls for a professional is the height of ignorance and neglect on the part of both the incident commanders and the individual volunteer performing said task.

[@snowman374th]

Seems to me like a waste. but what do I know. Sometimes these victims fight the rescuer out of fear. I guess the dog can bite em.. lol
