Avalanche! Hasty Search
by Patti Burnett

Trained rescue dogs are the best tools available to rescuers for finding missing people in the wilderness. A successful ski patroller and rescue dog handler, Patti Burnett has unparalleled experience working the toughest call-outs - people buried in high mountain snow with little chance, or time to live.

"There is no better expert on avalanche rescue dogs than Patti Burnett. The information and insight in Patti's book, Avalanche! Hasty Search, will aid the skilled and novice dog-handler alike."
    - Dale Atkins, U.S. Representative to the International Commission for Alpine Rescue

"Avalanche! Hasty Search describes avalanche dog training clearly and comprehensively, and shows the value of a deep handler-canine relationship. The many actual Search and Rescue (SAR) mission accounts give excellent "lessons learned." Copper Mountain, Colorado, is lucky to have Patti. We are all lucky to have her book."
    - Sandy Bryson, Author, Police Dog Tactics

"Everyone involved in Search and Rescue should have an understanding of how search and rescue dogs work - whether or not they're dog handlers. Avalanche! Hasty Search is a required text for all SAR workers. It's also a great read for dog lovers everywhere, as Ms. Burnett stimulates your interest with personal anecdotes and proves time and time again that dog truly is man's best friend."
    - Robert Hilsenroth, DVM Executive Director, Morris Animal Foundation

"Patti Burnett is Colorado's top avalanche dog handler, the one people call first when disaster strikes. She has a unique niche in rescue services that require special skills, knowledge and dedication. Avalanche! Hasty Search is a story rich in human adventure, and who better to tell it than Patti."
