King

Just wanted to drop a line letting you know that King and I are now a validated Avalanche Rescue Dog team. We just got back from Squaw Valley, where we were tested by the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association and the Placer County Search and Rescue. We scored a 9.5 out of 10. Take care, Sean

Sean Macedonio of Mammoth Mountain Ski Patrol oversees the growing avalanche dog program at Mammoth Mountain. King is a 2-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever. For more information about Mammoth’s Avalanche Dog program contact Eastside K-9: P.O. Box 8043 Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546.

    Puppy Chow? I thought King only ate the ice out of the beer cooler!?

    I proudly wear my Eastside K9 tshirt, knowing that buying it helped support King and his work. Congratulations to you both on your certification. It is no small task and you have every right to be very proud of your accomplishment!

    We too are proud of our K9 shirt. So proud that I have given mine to my cousin Justin Fernandez currently serving overseas with his K9 partner. Thier daily job is to protect the lives of our soldiers and yes even polititians. Great job and thanks for all that you do. Having skied our fair mammoth for over 35 years, just knowing someone has your back when you are pushing the limits make all the difference. Thanks again and look forward to a new shirt of my own.
