This is the story of Skye, a border collie who worked for 11 consecutive years as a mountain dog, doing around 200 searches. Now that she is retired, at 16 years of age, she has been honored for her dedication and her hard work, which saved many human lives. And it is that she received the Order of Merit from the “PDSA”, an award that only the animals most dedicated to her work in the United Kingdom receive.
This dog has become the 16th animal to receive this award. Since the charityโs establishment in 2014 she has recognized the contribution of pets to society.
Thatโs so wonderful โฅ๏ธ๐โฅ๏ธ
Seeing her receive the PDSA Order of Merit is a truly moving experience and is a wonderful recognition of the time and hard work search dogs and their teams put into mountain safety.
Congratulations to you both, for a job well done!! ๐๐๐
