Search dog Kitt
Tue, 16th July 2019, 13:10
Sadly, Kitt died last night after a short illness. For those of you who might not know, Kitt was not only a great family pet but a LDMRSDA search dog attached to Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team between 2009 and 2015. She assisted with many rescues throughout the lakes, as well as one or two in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Scotland.
Many of you will recall her on rescues, searches and training sessions.
