How a black lab helped locate a missing BC mudslide victim in Okanagan Lake

From Global News.

The person who was presumed missing following a massive mudslide on Westside Road in Kelowna, B.C., on April 1 was found submerged in their truck in Okanagan Lake over the weekend.

A reported 20,000 tonnes of debris came down on April 1, spilling into the lake.

Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) said in the days following the slide, a person was reported missing who was expected to be driving Westside Road when the slide happened.

Search efforts involved nearly 1,000 volunteer hours on land and water, including ground teams, drones, and marine units— including Vernon Search and Rescue— COSAR confirmed.

COSAR said a critical breakthrough happened when K9 Barrett, a four-year-old black lab, gave a “strong indication” over the water that something may be below the surface.
