Synopsis
Renowned as one of the most skilled search dog handlers on both land and sea, Mick McCarthy has over twenty years experience of searching for missing persons.

This is the captivating story of his dogs, his life, and his adventures in the field, in search of missing persons. ""This story of an unusual job for working dogs and their human trainers well may inspire a new generation of search-and-rescue dog handlers.""-Booklist ""[McCarthy] is brutally honest when he describes how his obsession for Search and Rescue work took over and affected his personal life.""-Library Journal
