One of the top rated Search and Rescue dogs is Dakota, an American Pit Bull Terrier. Dakota is owned by Kris Crawford, who has 2 other pit bulls that are certified SAR dogs! Dakota is so good at what she does, NASA hand picked Kris and Dakota to assist in the recovery of the Astronauts after last winters tragic crash. They are also certified Hospital Therapy dogs. These dogs bring happy reunions and sometimes closure to many families. If you were to tell these families how evil and bad these dogs are I’m sure they would look at you like you were crazy!

Nick

About 1 month ago I passed out in our living room and fell to the floor.  The phone had been ringing a lot so it was on the end table next to the couch.  Somehow Nick knew what he needed to do.  He got phone and placed it on my chest.  Then he started to lick me and paw at my chest a little.  I woke up to wonderful kisses and my poor puppy crying.  I was shocked at what he had done.  For the rest of the day he wouldn't leave my side.  He followed me everywhere.  My baby's not a fighter, he's a hero!
