Springer Spaniel assists water-search team

Story here

Barra is a dog with a job. That is to find submerged bodies.

From the article:

The training of cadaver detection dogs to search for submerged bodies is relatively new to the UK.

Along with trained water-search teams, the dogs are able to cover large areas of lakes and rivers and are able to perform searches in about 10% of the time of other recognised search techniques.
