Blaze has been serving as a search and rescue dog for nine years. On Saturday, has retired after a long and successful career.
Blaze has been a very important part of search and rescue group in Santa Barbara County. He has participated in a total of 81 rescue missions, including 29 overseas searches. He has trained and worked with coach Juanita Smith.
"I could say I've trained Blaze, but in reality, I have trained me." "There were times in his career in which I was about to throw me back and asked him if he was sure Blaze, he looked at me and told me with his body language, 'trust me'," said Smith.
Blaze has helped in some great quests and after nine years of service he retires. A border collie puppy named Casper is being trained to replace Blaze.
On Saturday another search dog and his trainer, a member of "Search & Rescue", and sheriff's department staff gathered to pay tribute to Blaze. Now Blaze enjoys his time relaxing at home and playing with their toys.
