Chinook

This week's featured soap named for a Michigan Search and Rescue dog is Chinook. Chinook is a Golden Retriever. Chinook and her handler Nate are training in the area of Human Remains Detection.  Nate joined the team in 2013 and worked with the team as a Field Support person prior to deciding he would like to be a dog handler. 

Chinook loves the game of search and has a beautiful sit indication. Her name comes from the chinook winds that blow at the end of winter. This team is very close to being deployable.

Chinook's soap is scented with a blend of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils  (to mimic those winds coming down the mountains!).
