00:00Come on, let's go!
00:14That's it, buddy!
00:18Come on, come on, catch it!
00:21If we were sure...
00:31We're going to have to do it all young.
00:33And so, no, after that, it's for them.
00:35It's normal for him.
00:36As soon as there's a little slope, when we get back from the day,
00:39as soon as there's a little slope,
00:41he stops and waits for me to come and carry him.
00:43When we go skiing,
00:45we put them on our shoulders.
00:50It really creates a strong bond between the master and the dog.
00:54And it's so cool.
00:56Between the master and the dog.
00:58And it's so cool.
01:16We're moving on to the operational teams.
01:18So, I'll remind you of the objective.
01:20Search.
01:21So, an avalanche,
01:23a snowfall,
01:25and Serac is gone.
01:27It's going to embark two mountaineers.
01:29They're both going to be this one.
01:35Here we come.
01:37We're going to be on a glacier.
01:44Here we just let go of the dog.
01:47On the avalanche area.
01:51So, he's looking for a smelly leaf.
01:57You can see that the movement is difficult.
02:00There, we see the dog marking.
02:02So, we're going to go see what it's doing.
02:06Yes, that's a good one!
02:08That's it!
02:09Come on, come on, come on!
02:10Get him out!
02:11Yes!
02:12That's a good hunter!
02:14Come on, get him out!
02:15Yes!
02:16That's good!
02:18That's a good hunter!
02:19There you go!
02:21Yes!
02:23In ten minutes, he's marked the area
02:26and he's got two victims.
02:29And that's unbeatable.
02:32In terms of time, it's unbeatable.
02:36A year later.
02:47Come on, get him out!
02:49Get him out, Loulou!
02:51Come on!
02:52The dog is conditioned to...
02:55In fact, he doesn't like to work, he likes to play.
02:57Because he's conditioned to...
02:59When he finds the victims, he finds this toy.
03:01And so he plays with the victim.
03:03So that's all the conditioning of the work on it.
03:17The survival time under an avalanche,
03:20after 15 minutes, it decreases considerably.
03:24The time to walk a dog on an avalanche,
03:2915 minutes is very short.
03:33So unfortunately, it's not always survival.
03:47Regularly, we are lucky to see dogs that save lives.
03:52We were able to see him this year, in December, in Savoie.
03:56In addition, with a child who stayed very long underneath.
04:00It's part of the beautiful miracles of life.
