This evening our Trainee Air Scenting Search Dog Handler Paul Chisholm and Bella took to our local moorlands for their Thursday evening routine training rather than their usual venue in the Calder Valley SRT team area.

A rainy night in the Two Lads moorland area above Horwich and Wilderswood greeted Paul and Bella.

Joining them tonight to assist with training were Paul’s daughters Chloe and Courtney, two of Chloe’s friends, Abbie and Alex, and colleague Bolton MRT Call Out list members Michael Wakerley, Phil Horner and Alistair Greenough, who together gave Bella plenty of ‘exercise casualties / bodies’ to locate.
