Woman: VERY GOOD!

Narrator: ALL AROUND THE WORLD,

WE FORM EXTRAORDINARY
PARTNERSHIPS WITH DOGS.

[BELL RINGING]

FROM TEACHING US LIFE LESSONS...

[BARKING]

...TO HELPING US
IN OUR HOUR OF NEED.

DOGS ARE OUR TRUSTED COMPANIONS,

PARTNERS THAT ALLOW US
TO CONQUER OUR GREATEST FEARS.

Woman: GOOD GIRL.

Narrator: DOGS ARE SMART, LOYAL

AND EQUIPPED TO DO THINGS
WE SIMPLY CAN'T.

THEIR POWERFUL SENSE OF SMELL,

THEIR STRENGTH AND STAMINA

AND THEIR UNLIMITED DESIRE
TO PLAY...

Woman: GOOD BOY!

Narrator: ...HAS ENABLED US TO

Narrator: THIS IS RICOCHET.

SHE'S A THERAPY DOG
WHO HELPS PEOPLE

IN THE MOST UNLIKELY OF WAYS...

BECAUSE RICOCHET CAN SURF!

AND SHE USES HER BOARD SKILLS

TO HELP PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY
OVERCOME THEIR FEARS.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.

A SURFER'S PARADISE.

BUT FOR SOME, THIS IDYLLIC SPOT

CAN BE AN EXTREMELY
DISTRESSING PLACE.

AUDREY ESTRADA
IS AN AIR FORCE VETERAN

WHO SERVED TWO TOURS
IN AFGHANISTAN.

SINCE RETURNING
FROM ACTIVE DUTY,

SHE'S SUFFERED
FROM POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS,

AN ANXIETY DISORDER AFFECTING
MANY SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.

[HELICOPTER]

[GUNFIRE]

[EXPLOSIONS]

AUDREY BATTLES
CRIPPLING BOUTS OF ANXIETY

AND STRUGGLES TO FEEL SAFE
WHEN OUTSIDE.

SHE CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT
AND HAS A FEAR OF WATER.

Audrey: I'VE BEEN GOING
THROUGH THERAPY SINCE 2015,

AND THAT INTERNAL STRUGGLE
IS STILL THERE.

BEING ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE AND
THEN REMAIN SAFE WHILE I'M OUT

AND THEN MAKING IT BACK
IS SOMETHING THAT I NEED TO DO.

Narrator: TO TRY TO DEAL
WITH HER ISSUES,

TODAY AUDREY WILL BE MEETING
TEN-YEAR-OLD RICOCHET

AND HER OWNER, JUDY FRIDONO,

TO SEE IF RICOCHET'S SPECIAL
STYLE OF THERAPY CAN HELP.

Judy: RICOCHET WORKS A LOT
WITH VETERANS WITH PTSD.

SHE'S ALERT TO THEIR ANXIETY,
THEIR TRIGGERS, PAIN.

SHE TRIES TO PROTECT THEM
FROM GOING INTO ENVIRONMENTS

THAT WOULD INCREASE
THEIR ANXIETY.

Narrator:
IF THE FIRST MEETING GOES WELL,

IT COULD BE THE START
OF SEVERAL THERAPY SESSIONS.

Audrey: HI!

Judy: I'M JUDY.
THIS IS RICOCHET.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
Audrey: HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

Judy: SO, I'M JUST GOING TO ASK
WHAT YOUR ANXIETY LEVEL IS.

Audrey: I'M FEELING
LIKE A 7 OUT OF 10.

I CAN FEEL MYSELF
SHAKING A LITTLE. HA HA.

Narrator: TO HELP REDUCE
AUDREY'S DISTRESS,

JUDY WANTS HER TO FOCUS
ON LOOKING AT RICOCHET.

Judy: SO ONE OF THE THINGS, TOO,
THAT HELPS TO REDUCE ANXIETY

IS MAKING EYE CONTACT.

IF YOU MAKE EYE CONTACT, IT
RELEASES CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN,

WHICH HELPS TO REDUCE ANXIETY.

Narrator: STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT EYE CONTACT

CAN INCREASE OXYTOCIN, A HORMONE
KNOWN TO LOWER STRESS LEVELS.

Judy: IF YOU ARE FEELING ANXIOUS
ANYTIME THROUGH THIS

AND YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK,
JUST TELL ME.

Audrey: OK.

Judy: WE WANT YOU TO BE
AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE.

Narrator: FOR AUDREY
EVEN A GOING FOR A WALK

CAN BE EXTREMELY STRESSFUL.

BUT WITH RICOCHET BY HER SIDE,
SHE'S WILLING TO GIVE IT A TRY.

Judy: READY? LET'S GO.
Audrey: LET'S GO.

Narrator:
LIKE MANY SERVICE MEMBERS

WHO RETURN FROM CONFLICT,

AUDREY HAS RETAINED
A SENSE OF HYPER-VIGILANCE.

Judy: BEING IN THE WARZONE,

EVERYTHING COULD BE
A THREAT THERE,

SO THEY CAN NEVER
LET THEIR GUARD DOWN.

BACK IN CIVILIAN LIFE,

IT'S HARD TO SHUT OFF
THAT HYPER-VIGILANCE.

SO THEY CAN SEE A BAG
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

AND HAVE A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE
THEY THINK IT'S A BOMB.

DOGS ARE HYPER-VIGILANT
BY NATURE,

SO THEY'RE AWARE OF EVERYTHING
THAT'S GOING ON

IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

THEY HEAR IT, THEY SEE IT,
THEY SMELL IT,

AND IF A PERSON WATCHES THE DOG

INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WATCH
FIVE MILLION THINGS

HAPPENING AROUND THEM,

THE DOG WILL TELL THEM
WHEN THERE'S A THREAT.

SO IT TAKES A LOT OF PRESSURE
OFF THE INDIVIDUAL

IF THEY CAN JUST
PAY ATTENTION TO THE DOG.

IF SAFETY IS
A BIG THING FOR YOU,

THEN WHAT SHE'S GOING
TO TRY TO DO

IS KEEP YOU AWAY FROM ANYTHING
THAT WOULD FEEL UNSAFE.

I HAVE NO IDEA
HOW RICOCHET DOES IT.

LIKE, HOW COULD SHE KNOW
SOMEBODY'S TRIGGERS?

BUT WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE'S
ABLE TO DO, IT'S VERY POWERFUL.

Narrator:
IF AUDREY CAN PUT HER TRUST

IN RICOCHET'S ABILITY
TO DETECT DANGER,

SHE MAY BE ABLE
TO RELAX A LITTLE MORE.

Girl: OOH, DOGGY!
DOGGY! DOGGY! DOGGY!

Narrator: WITH THE BEACH
GETTING BUSIER,

RICOCHET APPEARS TO MOVE
AWAY FROM THE CROWDS.

Audrey: IT'S BETTER UP HERE.

Judy: BETTER WHAT?

Audrey: CALM.

Judy: YOU FEEL BETTER UP HERE?

Audrey: YEAH.

Judy: SO, IF WE TRY TO WALK
BACK TO THE BEACH,

LET'S SEE IF SHE'LL GO.

COME ON, RICKY.

COME ON.
COME ON, COME ON.

LET'S GO.

Narrator: RICOCHET DOESN'T SEEM
TO WANT TO GO TO THE BEACH.

Judy: SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO LET YOU.

Narrator:
AUDREY STILL FEELS ANXIOUS,

AND RICOCHET'S APPARENT REFUSAL
HELPS HER BEGIN TO RELAX.

Audrey: I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW ELSE TO PUT IT.

SHE HAS INTUITION.

SHE WAS ABLE TO DECIPHER
WHAT WAS GOING ON

AND GET ME TO A CALMER STATE.

Narrator:
IT'S A VERY PROMISING START.

RICOCHET IS ALREADY HAVING
A POSITIVE EFFECT

ON AUDREY'S MOOD.

AUDREY IS NOT ALONE.

OVER THE LAST NINE YEARS
AS A THERAPY DOG,

RICOCHET HAS HELPED DOZENS
OF PEOPLE OVERCOME THEIR FEARS,

WHETHER IT'S REDUCING
THEIR ANXIETY ON LAND

OR BUILDING THEIR CONFIDENCE
IN THE WATER.

Judy: I ALWAYS SAY
THE HEALING POWER OF THE OCEAN

AND THE HEALING POWER OF A DOG,

AND YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER,
AND IT'S INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.

WELL, I FEEL LIKE RICOCHET
IS ON THIS EARTH FOR A PURPOSE.

SHE IS A GIFT, AND GIFTS
ARE MEANT TO BE GIVEN,

SO I GIVE HER TO EVERYONE.

I BELIEVE SHE BELONGS
TO EVERYONE.

Audrey: BACK IN 2009
I GOT STUCK IN A RIP CURRENT

AND I GOT PULLED UNDER.

I HAVEN'T BEEN
BACK IN THE WATER.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
THE WATER SYMBOLIZES

THE INTERNAL STRUGGLE
INSIDE MYSELF.

YOU HAVE ALL THESE WAVES CRASHING,

AND IN ORDER TO GET
TO THE SHORE,

YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOURSELF
ON THE BOARD TO MAKE IT IN.

AND IF I CAN DO THAT
IN THE OCEAN,

THEN I SHOULD BE ABLE
TO DO IT ON LAND.

Narrator:
RICOCHET'S FIRST ATTEMPT

AT REDUCING AUDREY'S ANXIETY

HAS HELPED HER TO RELAX ENOUGH

TO CONSIDER TAKING THE NEXT STEP
IN TODAY'S THERAPY SESSION...

SURFING WITH RICOCHET.

TO DO THIS, AUDREY MUST FACE
HER FEAR OF THE OCEAN.

IF AUDREY CAN PUT HER TRUST
IN RICOCHET,

IT MAY TAKE HER MIND OFF THE
STRESS OF HER FEAR OF THE OCEAN.

RICOCHET'S SUPPORT TEAM
IS READY TO HELP.

SURF INSTRUCTOR DARREN KLASSEN
OFFERS REASSURANCE.

Darren: YOU AND I
ARE GONNA WALK OUT TOGETHER

INTO THE WATER,
TO ABOUT CHEST DEEP.

Audrey: [LAUGHS]
MY HEART'S BEATING

OUT OF MY CHEST RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, I CAN LIKE
LITERALLY FEEL IT.

Darren:
ONE TO TEN, WHERE YOU AT?

Audrey: UM, PROBABLY AN 8.

Darren: REALLY? OK.

SO, WHAT I WANT YOU TO FEEL
IS THE POWER OF THE WAVE

AND JUST THE MOTION, AND GET
YOUR BALANCE ON THE BOARD,

WHICH THAT BOARD
IS PRETTY STABLE,

AND IT WILL BE ESPECIALLY STABLE
WHEN RICOCHET COMES OUT WITH US.

Narrator: SURFING HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO DECREASE ANXIETY AND INSOMNIA

IN PEOPLE SUFFERING WITH PTSD.

Darren:
RICOCHET PROVIDES COMFORT.

THERE'S A CONNECTION

BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO NEED
A LITTLE EXTRA PUSH,

OR A LITTLE EXTRA HOPE OR
A LITTLE EXTRA ENCOURAGEMENT

AND A DOG.

AND I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN
ENOUGH TIMES

THAT I CAN'T QUESTION IT ANYMORE.

AND SO I KNOW THIS PLACE
REALLY, REALLY WELL.

Audrey: OK.

Narrator: AUDREY AGAIN
PLACES HER TRUST IN RICOCHET.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN NINE YEARS,

SHE ENTERS THE OCEAN.

Darren: HERE WE GO!

♪

Audrey: HEY!

♪

Narrator:
WITH RICOCHET BY HER SIDE,

AUDREY FOCUSES ON FINDING
HER BALANCE,

FORGETS HER FEARS,

AND, FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, SURFS!

♪

IT'S AN OVERWHELMING ACHIEVEMENT.

BEING ABLE TO TRUST IN RICOCHET

ENABLES HER TO OVERCOME
HER FEAR OF THE WATER.

Audrey: I WAS AMAZED
AT HOW SHE BALANCED THE BOARD.

SHE WAS FEELING IT OUT.

I MEAN, I'M HUMAN,
AND I WASN'T DOING THAT.

[LAUGHS] YOU KNOW!

IT WAS AMAZING.

I TOLD JUDY I WANT TO COME BACK.

Narrator: SINCE HER PTSD BEGAN,

AUDREY HAS ALSO STRUGGLED
WITH INSOMNIA.

Audrey: I THINK I'LL BE ABLE
TO GO TO SLEEP TONIGHT.

[LAUGHS]

I THINK I'LL BE ABLE
TO GO TO SLEEP.

Narrator: THERAPY DOGS CAN OFFER

IN TIMES OF EMOTIONAL CRISIS.

BUT WHEN A NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES,

THIS DOG WILL BE READY
TO RESPOND TO THE CALL OF DUTY

WITH HER PARTNER.

Narrator: FIRST RESPONDERS
FROM AROUND SANTA BARBARA

AND LOS ANGELES
WERE CALLED IN TO HELP.

[SIREN]

L.A. FIREFIGHTER CYNTHIA SATO

AND HER CANINE RESCUE PARTNER
ROXY WERE AMONG THEM.

ROXY IS A GERMAN SHEPHERD MIX,

AND TOGETHER THEY'RE MEMBERS
OF THE CALIFORNIA TASK FORCE.

AS PART OF
A SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM,

THEIR JOB IS TO RESPOND TO MAJOR
DISASTERS AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.

ON THE DAY THE MONTECITO
MUDSLIDE HIT, THEY GOT THE CALL.

[SIREN]

Cynthia:
MONTECITO WAS DEFINITELY

OUR BIGGEST DEPLOYMENT SO FAR.

WE BASICALLY WENT
STRAIGHT INTO WORK.

WE SAW HOUSES WITH MUD
IN THEM WAIST HIGH.

WE SAW HOUSES COMPLETELY MOVED
OFF OF THEIR FOUNDATIONS.

JUST IMAGINING MY HOME,
MY LOVED ONES

HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT
WAS NOT AN EASY THING TO SEE.

Narrator: THE DISASTER WAS
THE RESULT OF A PERFECT STORM.

A MONTH BEFORE,
THE SURROUNDING FORESTED HILLS

HAD SUFFERED
A DEVASTATING WILDFIRE.

THE LOSS OF TREES
DESTABILIZED THE SOIL.

THEN TORRENTIAL RAINS FOLLOWED,
TURNING THE HILLSIDE TO MUD,

WHICH SWEPT DOWN
INTO THE COMMUNITY.

DESPITE FIVE YEARS
OF ACTIVE SERVICE,

THIS WAS ROXY'S FIRST
MAJOR MUDSLIDE DISASTER.

AS A SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG,

SHE'D BEEN TRAINED
TO TRACK HUMAN SCENT.

BUT THIS WAS DIFFERENT.

NOTHING COULD PREPARE HER
FOR THE EXTREME CONDITIONS.

THE MUDFLOW HAD DAMAGED OR
DESTROYED MORE THAN 400 HOMES.

Narrator: ROXY AND CYNTHIA
WERE ONE OF 39 SEARCH DOG TEAMS

DEPLOYED TO THE DISASTER.

THE FIRST DOG ON THE SCENE
WAS MACGYVER,

A SIX-YEAR-OLD
AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG,

AND HIS PARTNER, RICK STEIN.

Rick: ONE OF THE MOST
DEVASTATING ASPECTS

OF THE DEBRIS FLOW
WERE BOULDERS.

THERE WERE BOULDERS
AS LARGE AS LARGE VANS,

AND THOSE WOULD COME
THROUGH BUILDINGS

AND JUST TAKE STRUCTURES OUT.

Narrator: TO GET INTO SMASHED
BUILDINGS CLOGGED WITH MUD,

FOUR LEGS CAN BE
BETTER THAN TWO.

Cynthia:
IT WAS DIFFICULT, BUT DOGS,

THEIR LEGS ARE
A LITTLE BIT THINNER.

THEY DIDN'T GET THEIR FEET STUCK
THE WAY WE DID.

WE WERE HIKING IN THAT MUD,
YOU KNOW, KNEE-HIGH, THIGH-HIGH,

FOR MILES.

Narrator: IT COULD TAKE
HUMAN RESCUERS WEEKS

TO CHECK AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD,

BUT DOGS CAN DO IT
MORE QUICKLY,

EVEN IN EXTREME CONDITIONS.

Cynthia: THESE DOGS CAN SEARCH
MILES IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

SHE DOESN'T NEED
TO DIG UP THAT MUCH,

SHE CAN JUST GO IN, SEARCH,
USE HER NOSE,

CHECK FOR ANY VICTIMS
OR ANY POSSIBLE VICTIMS

AND THEN CLEAR THAT AREA.

Narrator: THE RESCUE TEAMS
WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK

TO ENSURE NO ONE
WAS LEFT BEHIND.

ROXY AND CYNTHIA OPERATED
ON ROTATING SHIFTS

WITH THE OTHER DOG TEAMS.

WITH DOGS AND HUMANS
WORKING TOGETHER,

THE RESCUE TEAMS WERE ABLE
TO SAVE HUNDREDS OF LIVES.

♪

BUT IN THE DAYS
FOLLOWING THE DISASTER,

THE WINDOW FOR FINDING SURVIVORS
SLOWLY CLOSED.

RESCUE TURNED INTO RECOVERY.

Rick: IT WAS SURREAL,
IT WAS HARD TO DESCRIBE.

IT WAS JUST DEVASTATING.

IT WAS DEVASTATING
TO THE COMMUNITY,

TO MANY FAMILIES.

MACGYVER IS TRAINED
TO FIND A LIVE PERSON

AS WELL AS A DECEASED PERSON.

WHEN HE FINDS A LIVE PERSON,

HE RUNS BACK TO ME AND SITS.

ON A DECEASED FIND,
HE'LL STILL DO THAT ALERT,

BUT WHEN HE GETS TO THE SUBJECT,
HE'LL DO A DOWN, LIE DOWN,

AND POINT HIS NOSE
AT THE SOURCE OF THE SCENT.

Narrator: 21 PEOPLE LOST
THEIR LIVES IN THE DISASTER.

BUT MANY MORE WERE SPARED

THANKS TO THE EXHAUSTIVE EFFORTS
OF THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS.

BETWEEN EMERGENCY CALLOUTS,

CYNTHIA ENSURES ROXY
REMAINS IN PEAK CONDITION.

Cynthia: SIT.

READY?
[BARKS]

CLIMB!

Narrator: SHE'S TRAINED TO WORK

IN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS.

Cynthia: GOOD GIRL!

EASY...GOOD!

GO ON.

VERY GOOD.

SIT.

Narrator: ONE OF THE KEY SKILLS

A SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG
MUST MASTER

IS FINDING ITS BALANCE

AND HAVING CONFIDENCE
ON UNEVEN TERRAIN.

Cynthia: IF SHE SLIPS AND FALLS
ON A DEPLOYMENT,

WE CAN'T JUST STOP SEARCHING
RIGHT THEN AND THERE,

WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING,
SO IF SHE DOES SLIP AND FALL,

SHE KNOWS, BECAUSE
OF THIS TRAINING

THAT WE CONTINUOUSLY DO,

THAT SHE CAN JUST GET UP
AND JUST KEEP GOING.

SO WHEN THEY'RE WORKING
ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS

WHERE THEY HAVE SEPARATED RUNGS,

THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT
OF THEIR BACK LEGS,

SO THIS IS
A REALLY GOOD EXERCISE FOR THEM

TO START LEARNING ABOUT
HOW TO STEP AND WHERE TO STEP.

Narrator: RESCUE TRAINING DRILLS

CAN ALSO HELP KEEP
ROXY'S SCENT SKILLS SHARP.

Cynthia: COME HERE. OK.

Narrator: IN THIS EXERCISE,
ONE OF CYNTHIA'S COLLEAGUES

IS PRETENDING TO BE TRAPPED
UNDER THE RUBBLE.

Cynthia: OK, HERE WE GO!
HERE WE GO!

Narrator: TRUST IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS

IN ROXY'S WORKING RELATIONSHIP
WITH CYNTHIA.

Cynthia: OK. THIS WAY.

SHE HAS TO TRUST ME IN ME BEING
ABLE TO TELL HER WHERE TO GO,

TO KIND OF GUIDE HER
TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

Narrator: BUT THE TRUST
MUST GO BOTH WAYS.

Cynthia: THIS WAY.

[BARKING]

IF SHE'S BARKING AT SOMETHING

THAT I DON'T THINK
THAT THERE'S A VICTIM,

I HAVE TO TRUST THAT SHE IS
BARKING IN THE RIGHT PLACE

AND THAT SHE'S BARKING
AT SOME THING,

SO SOMEHOW THERE IS SOME SORT OF
A SCENT RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

GOOD GIRL! SHOW ME!

SHE GOT IT. GOOD GIRL!

SO TRUST IS A HUGE THING FOR US.

HEY, ROXY.

COME HERE. SHOW ME!

VERY NICE.

Narrator:
LIKE MOST WORKING DOGS,

ROXY IS MOTIVATED BY THE
ANTICIPATION OF A PLAY REWARD.

CONSTANT TRAINING
AND TOUGH DEPLOYMENTS

HELP TO STRENGTHEN THE BOND
BETWEEN ROXY AND CYNTHIA.

AND THEIR TIME TOGETHER OFF DUTY
IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

Cynthia: WE WORK HARD TOGETHER
AS PARTNERS WHEN WE'RE ON DUTY,

BUT WE ALSO PLAY HARD TOGETHER
WHEN WE'RE NOT ON DUTY.

COME HERE, ROX!
GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!

WHEN WE'RE PLAYING TOGETHER

IT KIND OF REINFORCES
HER TOY DRIVE,

WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR
WHEN SHE'S LOOKING FOR A VICTIM

- IS THAT TOY--
- THAT'S HER REWARD.

GOOD GIRL.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN.

Narrator: INDEED THEY DO!

Cynthia: I DRESS HER UP
FOR HALLOWEEN EVERY YEAR!

I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MANY
WIGS I'VE PUT ON HER!

SHE LIKES IT, THOUGH,
SHE DOES!

I SWEAR.
DON'T WALK AWAY, ROXY!

IT'S OK. IT'S OK.

[LAUGHING]

I THINK SHE LIKES IT AT LEAST!

[LAUGHING]

Narrator: TODAY ROXY AND CYNTHIA

ARE AT THE NATIONAL SEARCH DOG
FOUNDATION TRAINING CENTER.

THEY'RE HERE TO MEET AND GREET
THE CALIFORNIA TASK FORCE'S

NEWEST RECRUITS ON THE DAY
THEY GRADUATE FROM TRAINING.

RUFFY AND HIS NEW PARTNER,
L.A. FIREFIGHTER JASON JASGUR,

ARE RUNNING THROUGH
SOME FINAL DRILLS.

[BLOWS WHISTLE]

Cynthia: I JUST GOT TO SEE HIM

RUN THE AGILITY COURSE
A LITTLE BIT.

HE STILL NEEDS A LITTLE BIT
OF PRACTICE,

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOG DOESN'T?

EVEN ROXY NEEDS PRACTICE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

HE'S KEEPING REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY GOOD EYE CONTACT

WITH YOU, EVEN RIGHT NOW,

YOU KNOW, HE KEEPS
LOOKING UP AT YOU.

Jason: HE'S VERY ATTENTIVE,

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

IS LEARNING HOW TO BE
A GOOD HANDLER

AND THEN BUILDING A STRONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DOG.

ATTA BOY.

Narrator: RUFFY WILL ALSO NEED
TO GET ALONG WITH ROXY

IF THEY'RE TO WORK TOGETHER
ON DEPLOYMENT.

Cynthia: GOOD GIRL, ROX.

Jason: THAT A BOY.

Narrator: FIVE YEARS AGO,
IT WAS ROXY AND CYNTHIA

WHO WERE GRADUATING, HAVING ALSO
BEEN MATCHED DURING TRAINING.

Cynthia: I REMEMBER

LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

IT WAS THE BEST DAY.

Narrator: NOW IT'S RUFFY

Woman: JASON IS WITH
CALIFORNIA TASK FORCE ONE,

[LAUGHS]

Narrator: THE STRONG BOND
BETWEEN A SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG

AND ITS HUMAN PARTNER
CAN HELP SAVE LIVES.

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC,

DOGS ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING
RATHER DIFFERENT.

FOR THIS UNUSUAL JOB, TWO NOSES
CAN BE BETTER THAN ONE.

Narrator:
CUMBRIA, NORTHWEST ENGLAND.

A REGION OF LUSH AND
LEAFY GREEN COUNTRYSIDE

THANKS TO ITS HIGH LEVELS
OF RAINFALL.

BUT BELOW THE SURFACE OF THIS
RURAL IDYLL LURKS A PROBLEM.

DESPITE A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY
OF WATER,

BRITAIN IS AT RISK
OF DOMESTIC WATER SHORTAGES.

A NETWORK OF
LEAKY UNDERGROUND PIPES

IS LOSING UP TO 20%
OF THE MAINS SUPPLY EVERY DAY.

FINDING A LEAK TO FIX UNDER
A VAST LANDSCAPE OF FIELDS

IS A REAL CHALLENGE,

BUT NOT FOR THIS PARTNERSHIP
OF REMARKABLE SPANIELS.

SNIPE AND DENZEL

ARE THE UK'S FIRST EVER
WATER LEAK DETECTION DOGS.

THEY WORK FOR THE REGIONAL
WATER COMPANY.

IN ENGLAND, EVERY DAY AROUND
3 BILLION LITERS OF WATER

ARE LOST TO LEAKING INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT'S AS MUCH AS 21 MILLION
PEOPLE USE IN A DAY.

THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY WARNS

THAT WITHOUT ACTION
AND A DROP IN DEMAND,

THERE COULD BE
A WATER SHORTAGE BY 2050.

TODAY THE WATER COMPANY
IS SENDING THE DOGS

AND THEIR HANDLERS,
ROSS STEPHENSON AND LUKE JONES,

TO INVESTIGATE A SUSPECTED LEAK

ON A MAINS PIPE RUNNING
THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE.

Luke: DENZ! [WHISTLES]

Narrator: THE SAME SATELLITE
IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY NASA
TO DETECT WATER ON MARS

CAN ALERT THEM TO A POSSIBLE
PROBLEM IN AN AREA.

Ross: .328.

Narrator: ARMED WITH MAPS
AND GPS COORDINATES,

THE TEAM WILL FOLLOW
THE PIPELINE

THROUGH THE SUSPECT SITE,

BUT IT WILL BE DOWN
TO THE DOGS' NOSES

TO PINPOINT THE PRECISE LOCATION
OF THE WATER LEAK,

UP TO 2.5 METERS
BELOW THE SURFACE.

Ross: THERE'S PIPES
THAT'S BEEN LAID

AS FAR BACK AS THE 17th
OR 18th CENTURY,

SO BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN LAID

AND NOT BEEN REPLACED
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,

THERE'S GOING TO BE LEAKS,
AND THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE.

Narrator: SNIPE AND DENZEL
WORK AS A TAG TEAM.

TODAY, DENZEL WILL GO FIRST.

TO FIND A BROKEN PIPE,

DENZEL MUST BE ABLE
TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN LEAKING WATER
AND NATURAL RAIN WATER.

HE CAN DO THIS

BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE UK TREATS
ITS DRINKING WATER.

PROCESSING PLANTS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY

ADD CHLORINE TO DRINKING WATER
TO KILL BACTERIA AND MICROBES,

AND THIS IS WHAT DENZEL
AND SNIPE ARE TRAINED TO SMELL.

WHEN ROSS LOCATES THE
UNDERGROUND PIPE ON THE GPS,

LUKE AND DENZEL
START TO FOLLOW IT.

Narrator: DENZEL WILL SNIFF
FOR THE CHLORINATED WATER,

BUT HE ALSO NEEDS
TO AVOID THE MULTITUDE

OF OTHER DISTRACTING SMELLS
IN THE BRITISH COUNTRYSIDE.

Narrator: DENZEL CAN'T SMELL THE
CHLORINE WHILE IT'S IN THE PIPE,

BUT AS SOON AS IT LEAKS
INTO THE SOIL, HE CAN.

Narrator:
SNIFFER DOGS LIKE DENZEL

NEED REGULAR PRACTICE
ON FINDING THEIR TARGET.

ROSS AND LUKE USE SCENT RACKS

TO KEEP THE DOGS'
DETECTION SKILLS RAZOR SHARP.

Narrator: THE WATER SAMPLE
IS IN THE TOP RIGHT JAR...

AND DENZEL MAKES NO MISTAKE.

Luke: YEAH, HA HA! GOOD BOY!

HE JUST HAD TO CHECK THAT IT
WASN'T IN ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.

Ross: YEAH.

Narrator: TO ENSURE
IT'S NOT BEGINNER'S LUCK,

LUKE MOVES THE CHLORINE POT
TO REPEAT THE TEST.

WHEN INDICATING, DENZEL ALWAYS
STOPS AT THE TARGET

WITH HIS NOSE ON THE SCENT.

HE WAGS HIS TAIL BECAUSE
SUCCESS MEANS ONE THING.

Luke: YEAH!
[DOG GROWLING]

YA HA HA! EXCITED TEETH!

EXCITED TEETH!

GOOD BOY.

Narrator: A PLAY REWARD.

Luke: GOOD BOY!

YA HA HA HA.

Narrator: TO MAKE SURE THE DOGS
DON'T EXHAUST THEMSELVES,

DENZEL AND SNIPE SWITCH OVER.

♪

THE SEARCH FOR WATER CONTINUES,
NOW WITH SNIPE ON THE JOB.

Ross: SNIPE! HERE!

Narrator:
NO SIGN OF A LEAK SO FAR,

BUT IF THERE'S ONE THERE,

LUKE IS CONFIDENT
THE DOGS WILL FIND IT.

ON PREVIOUS SEARCHES,

THE DOGS HAVE MADE
REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES.

Narrator: HALF A MILE
INTO THE SEARCH,

SNIPE LOOKS LIKE
HE'S FOUND SOMETHING.

THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY WATER,

BUT THERE'S NO MISTAKING
SNIPE'S BODY LANGUAGE.

Luke: AH, GOOD BOY!

Narrator: THE GROUND MIC

IS A SUPER SENSITIVE
LISTENING DEVICE,

WHICH CAN PICK UP
THE DISTINCTIVE GURGLE

OF A LEAKING PIPE.

BUT IT'S NOT ENTIRELY RELIABLE.

Narrator: TODAY THE MIC
DOESN'T PICK UP ANYTHING,

BUT LUKE IS CONFIDENT

THAT IF SNIPE THINKS
THERE'S CHLORINE THERE,

IT'S LIKELY
THEY'VE FOUND A LEAK.

THE TEAM REPORTS
ANY POTENTIAL LEAKS

BACK TO THE LOCAL
WATER AUTHORITY,

WHICH DECIDES WHETHER OR NOT
TO EXCAVATE.

IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR A NETWORK
OF 42,000 KILOMETERS OF PIPES,

AND EACH YEAR IT FIXES
AROUND 27,000 LEAKS.

INVESTIGATING A POTENTIAL CRACK
IS A COSTLY THING TO DO,

BUT WATER NETWORK MANAGER
HANNAH WARDLE

HAS FULL TRUST IN HER STAR TEAM.

Hannah: THE RESULTS
THAT WE'VE HAD ARE FANTASTIC.

SOME OF THE LEAKS THAT THE DOGS
HAVE INDICATED

POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN
RUNNING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME

AND WE WOULD NOT
HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT,

SO WE'VE SUSPECTED
THAT WE'VE HAD AN ISSUE,

BUT USING
OUR TRADITIONAL METHODS

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY
THE SPOT WHERE THE LEAK WAS.

BUT USING THE DOGS, WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE LEAK,

EXCAVATE THE HOLE
AND ACTUALLY REPAIR IT,

WHICH IS JUST AMAZING.

Narrator:
IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS,

DENZEL AND SNIPE HAVE FOLLOWED
62 MILES OF WATER PIPES,

DETECTING LEAKS THAT,
ONCE REPAIRED,

HAS SAVED ALMOST
400,000 GALLONS OF WATER.

AT THE END OF THE WORKING DAY,
THE CANINE PARTNERS

GET A CHANCE TO RELAX
WITH THEIR HUMAN PARTNERS.

Narrator: THE SPANIEL PARTNERS
USE THEIR NOSES

TO SAVE VITAL RESOURCES...

WHEREAS THIS DOG IS USING HIS
LAID-BACK APPROACH TO LEARNING

THIS HELPS CREATE
A LESS STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT

TO ASSIST CHILDREN
WITH THEIR LEARNING.

Nik: STUDIES SHOW HAVING A DOG
WILL LOWER EVERYBODY'S STRESS.

JUST THAT DOG BEING THERE,
THE CHILDREN CAN ACCESS THE DOG.

THE ACTION OF STROKING THE DOG

CAN HAVE A REALLY GOOD EFFECT
ON THEIR MOOD.

Narrator: IT'S 9 A.M.

CLASSES BEGIN, AND FERNIE
IS READY FOR HIS FIRST LESSON.

FOR MANY STUDENTS, READING
OUT LOUD IN A BUSY CLASSROOM

CAN BE INTIMIDATING.

SO AN IMPORTANT PART
OF FERNIE'S JOB

IS TO SIT AND LISTEN TO LESS
CONFIDENT CHILDREN READ ALONE.

Oliver: "ONCE UPON A TIME,
AN EVIL WITCH

HAD BEEN CAUSING
ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE..."

Narrator:
THIS MORNING HE'S TAKING

A ONE-TO-ONE READING SESSION
- WITH 10-
- YEAR-OLD OLIVER.

Nik: OLIVER REALLY NEEDS
HIS CONFIDENCE BOOSTING.

THE BIT WITH FERNIE
IS VERY SPECIAL

BECAUSE FERNIE DOESN'T MAKE
ANY JUDGMENT ON WHAT HE'S DOING,

NOT ASK HIM TO READ IT AGAIN.

FERNIE WILL JUST LISTEN,
NOT CORRECT HIM.

IT'S JUST ALL ABOUT THE BOND
BETWEEN HIM AND THE DOG,

AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT
A SPECIAL SESSION FOR HIM.

Oliver: "SO HE LEARNED TO..."

Nik: CHILDREN MIGHT NOT LIKE
READING TO ADULTS,

BUT READING TO A DOG
IS DIFFERENT

BECAUSE THE DOG
WILL JUST LISTEN.

Narrator: FERNIE'S LAID-BACK
APPROACH TO LEARNING

IS ALSO HELPING
CHILDREN LIKE LOLA.

Lola: "THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY..."

Narrator: LOLA'S MOM
HAD BEEN CONCERNED

ABOUT HER DAUGHTER'S ANXIETY
ABOUT ATTENDING SCHOOL.

Lola: "...EVERY CHILD
BUT BERNIE."

Christy: LOLA NEVER HAD
A REAL PROBLEM WITH READING,

BUT FROM QUITE YOUNG SHE WAS
NERVOUS ABOUT COMING TO SCHOOL,

SO HAVING THAT CONNECTION
WITH FERNIE

REALLY HELPED HER BECOME
FAR LESS FRIGHTENED.

Nik: FERNIE IN PARTICULAR
IS USED FOR A REWARD SOMETIMES,

SO IF CHILDREN ARE STRUGGLING
COMING INTO SCHOOL,

WE MIGHT SAY IF YOU CAN COME IN
MONDAY TO THURSDAY

THAT YOU CAN HAVE A SESSION
WITH HIM ON A FRIDAY.

Lola: "...SECRET POWER
AGAINST THE WITCH."

Nik: THAT WAS BRILLIANT!
WELL DONE.

SUPER, SUPER READING.

Narrator:
SPENDING TIME WITH FERNIE

HAS HELPED LOLA
TO OVERCOME HER FEARS.

Lola: I LIKE READING WITH FERNIE
BECAUSE HE KEEPS ME COMPANY,

HE'S REALLY SOFT AND SMOOTH, AND
IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE RELAXED.

HE'S REALLY CLEVER
AND HE'S REALLY COOL.

I REALLY LIKE HIM.

Narrator: FERNIE HAS ALSO WON
PARENTAL APPROVAL.

Christy: I THINK
IT'S SUCH A POSITIVE THING,

NOT ONLY THE READING,
BUT THE COMFORT.

IT'S MULTI-LAYERED.

I'VE SEEN A DIFFERENCE
IN MY DAUGHTER,

AND THAT HAS A KNOCK-ON,

BECAUSE IT MAKES THE PARENTS
FEEL LESS ANXIOUS.

IF YOU CAN DROP YOUR CHILD OFF

AND THEY FEEL WORRIED
AND ANXIOUS AND THEY'RE TEARY,

YOU WALK AWAY FEELING
ANXIOUS AND TEARY.

HAVING A DOG THERE
HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE.

Narrator: FERNIE HAS A RELAXED
STYLE OF EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT,

BUT IT TOOK THREE YEARS
OF TRAINING

TO BECOME A FULLY QUALIFIED
SCHOOL DOG.

Nik: FERNIE'S CERTIFIED TO WORK
WITH CHILDREN

THROUGH THE CHARITY
DOGS HELPING KIDS.

HE'S HAD TO GO THROUGH
A SERIES OF ASSESSMENTS,

CHECK THAT HE'S NOT STRESSED
IN THE ENVIRONMENT,

CHECK THAT HE'S
COMPLETELY SUITABLE

FOR WORKING WITH CHILDREN,

AND THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE.

[BELL RINGS]

Narrator: FERNIE IS ONE
OF 12 CERTIFIED SCHOOL DOGS

TRAINED THROUGH THE CHARITY
CURRENTLY WORKING IN THE UK.

LABRADORS ARE RENOWNED
FOR BEING GOOD WITH CHILDREN.

AND, AS ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE
WILL TELL YOU,

THEY'RE ALSO FAMOUS
FOR THEIR VORACIOUS APPETITES.

Nik: AS A LABRADOR,

HE SPENDS MOST OF HIS TIME
THINKING ABOUT FOOD,

THAT'S THE ONLY SORT OF
MISCHIEVOUS SIDE OF HIM, REALLY.

Narrator: BEING TEACHER'S PET

AFFORDS FERNIE
SEVERAL STAFF PRIVILEGES.

ALTHOUGH NIK INSISTS HE'S
THE ONLY TEACHING ASSISTANT

ALLOWED TO TAKE A NAP
IN HIS OFFICE.

Nik: MIND THE CAR.
RIGHT, IF WE HEAD IN...

Narrator: WHEN CLASSES FINISH
FOR LUNCHTIME,

FERNIE TAKES HIS WORK OUTSIDE.

Nik: ALRIGHT, WE'LL JUST
CROSS OVER,

Narrator: THIS EXTRACURRICULAR
LESSON IS AN OPPORTUNITY

FOR THE CHILDREN
TO DEVELOP THEIR LEARNING

AWAY FROM THE CLASSROOM.

Nik: AND SIT!

GOOD BOY.

THE POINT OF
THE LUNCHTIME WALK IS

IT'S JUST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY

TO TALK ABOUT BEING
A GOOD DOG OWNER,

WE CAN TALK TO THEM
ABOUT ROAD SAFETY,

AND IT'S JUST LOVELY
TO HAVE A CHAT

NOT ABOUT THEIR WRITING
OR THEIR MATHS,

IT'S JUST NICE TO TALK
ABOUT THINGS

JUST GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES.

HAVING HIM ON THE SCHOOL SITE
IS A MASSIVE THING.

IF SOMEBODY'S STRUGGLING
WITH SOMETHING,

THEY CAN COME
AND SEE HIM FOR A BIT

AND WE HAVE A CHAT ABOUT IT.

OH, DEAR, THAT'S NOT
SO GOOD, IS IT?

Narrator: IT'S ANOTHER WAY
TO MAKE SCHOOL LESS STRESSFUL

AND HELPS BUILD SELF-ESTEEM.

[BELL RINGS]

IT'S THE FINAL CLASS OF THE DAY,

AND FERNIE IS TAKING A READING
LESSON IN THE LIBRARY.

BUT THIS TIME IT'S FERNIE
WHO WILL BE DOING THE READING.

NIK HAS TAUGHT HIM A TRICK

TO DEMONSTRATE TO OLIVER
AND CLASSMATE CERYS

THAT DOGS CAN BE
CLEVER ENOUGH TO READ, TOO.

WITH NO OTHER PROMPTING,

FERNIE RECOGNIZES THE WORD
ON THE CUE CARD...

Nik: AND FERNIE!

Narrator: ...AND TO PROVE IT,
HE PERFORMS THE BEHAVIOR.

[CLICK]

BUT HOW DOES A DOG LIKE FERNIE
LEARN TO READ?

SURPRISINGLY,
OUR CANINE COMPANIONS LEARN

IN A VERY SIMILAR WAY TO US.

Nik: RIGHT, AROUND YOU GO.

FERNIE CAN RECOGNIZE
THE SHAPES OF WORDS,

SO IN THE WAY THAT CHILDREN

BECOME MORE ACCOMPLISHED READERS,

THEY DON'T HAVE TO
SOUND OUT EVERY LETTER,

THEY CAN JUST LOOK AT A WORD

AND THEY KNOW WHAT THAT WORD
LOOKS LIKE.

IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME
THAT HE HAS LEARNT

TO ASSOCIATE A SHAPE OF A WORD
WITH A MEANING.

IT'S JUST THE FACT
WE'VE TRAINED HIM

FROM THE DAY THAT WE GOT HIM...

FERN, STAND.

...AND WE'VE WORKED
ON HIS SKILLS.

IT'S JUST DOWN TO COMMITMENT,

PATIENCE AND
POSITIVE TRAINING METHODS.

Narrator: NIK HOPES

THAT BY INVOLVING THE CHILDREN
IN THE TRICK

IT WILL MOTIVATE THEM TO ALSO
WANT TO LEARN NEW WORDS.

Nik: IF HE GETS IT RIGHT,
GIVE HIM A CLICK,

AND THEN HE GETS HIS TREAT.

RIGHT, OVER TO YOU, OLLIE.

Ollie: FERNIE!

[CLICK]

Nik: WELL DONE.

Narrator:
FERNIE AND NIK'S PARTNERSHIP

HAS HELPED LOTS OF CHILDREN
GAIN GREATER CONFIDENCE.

Nik: SAY HIS NAME.

Cerys: FERNIE!

Nik: AND SHOW.

TO SEE HIS IMPACT
ON CHILDREN'S LIVES

AND THEIR WELLBEING
IS JUST GREAT.

Nik: YOU GOT IT RIGHT!
WELL DONE.

Cerys: "...ON WHICH THEY
HAD COME TO THE FARMHOUSE

WHERE THEIR MOTHER
HAD TAKEN LODGINGS AND..."

Narrator: THE READING SESSIONS
ARE HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT

ON CERYS'S CONFIDENCE, TOO.

Cerys: THERE'S A CONNECTION
BETWEEN CHILDREN AND DOGS

AND HOW THEY FEEL DIFFERENT WHEN
THEY'RE READING TO AN ADULT.

FERNIE, HE LISTENS TO YOU.

Narrator:
FERNIE HAS EARNED HIS PLACE

AS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL.

Nik: FERNIE HAS BEEN COMING
TO SCHOOL

FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW,

AND OVER TIME WE'VE JUST SEEN
THE WAY THAT HE CAN BE USED

FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYBODY.

HE'S ABSOLUTELY SO PART
OF OUR STAFF TEAM NOW

THAT WE JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE
LIFE WITHOUT HIM.

Narrator: CREATING ENDURING
PARTNERSHIPS WITH DOGS

ENABLES US TO CHANGE LIVES.

WHETHER IT'S WORKING TOGETHER
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE,

BUILDING OUR CONFIDENCE

OR HELPING US SOLVE PROBLEMS,

OUR CANINE COMPANIONS
REALLY ARE MAN'S BEST FRIENDS.
