I was looking for more information on lost hikers I heard about this morning (lost coming off Chocorua Monday without maps or lights after a late start) and read about this grant Fish and Game just received.
Here's the link: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Newsroom/News_2011/news_2011_Q4/foundation_canine_grant_120911.html
Basically it is $2500 from the Fuller Foundation to grow the canine program. One thing I didn't think about was that search and rescue dogs can also be trained for fish and wildlife detection. (Like mountain lions?) The grant was presented to The Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH, which I also didn't know about, and is the fundraising arm of the F&G.
Interesting what you find out when you are looking for other news, isn't it?
