Incredible footage shows the moment when a dog sniffs out a 'lost' person, who has become 'buried' under snow.
The impressive actions of SD Hope are part of a training exercise to prepare search and rescue dogs for what they would likely encounter during an avalanche.
Dogs and their handlers from Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England took part in a training week in the Cairngorms.
A social media post reads: "Although our dogs don’t work regularly in avalanche prone areas (although with enough snow anywhere can be), there are many areas prone to large snow drifts forming.
It is not unheard of for people to be buried in their cars during snow storms. This helps familiarise the dogs with the skills needed find people in this situation."
