The drill focused on all aspects of specialty canine work, such as human remains detection and finding live missing subjects in wooded areas. Human odor sources were placed in concealed areas of the camp, such as under rocks and in the water of the lake to simulate drowning victim recovery. All training material was removed after the drill. A total of 12 dog-and-handler teams participated, including Cayuga County's newest search-and-rescue K-9, Fisher, who was excited for his first large training event. Other dogs ranged from a 10-month-old border collie to a 9-year-old Belgian Malinois with multiple live subject finds and cadaver recovery operations. All the dogs on the team live with their handlers and are members of their families. Cayuga County Highland Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer team, from grid team members to K-9 teams, and provides a resource to local law enforcement and fire departments.
A great blue heron stands at the edge of the water at Hoopes Park. According to North American native tradition, the blue heron brings messages of self-determination and self-reliance. They represent an ability to progress and evolve. The long, thin legs of the heron reflect that an individual doesn't need great, massive pillars to remain stable, but must be able to stand on one's own.
