SukritiPerfection In Detection!
Treo was now an official detection dog with his first posting in Northern Ireland. He did a tremendous work in sniffing out drugs and explosives day and night. The pooch was continuously keeping up the hard work of saving enormous innocent lives without any complaints and demands. For a couple of years, everything seemed to be fine until 2005.
Handler Retired
In 2005, Treo’s handler left him as he retired and now Treo was without a partner. Normally, dogs create strong links with their owners but Treo’s talent wasn’t hampered at all by the handler’s absence and there’s a valid reason behind it. You’ll be charmed by the heights of professionality you are about to read.
Professional Relation
They are called handlers not owners for a reason. We have already informed you about their importance for the pooch. You need to know one more information now, which is related to dog’s and handler’s emotions. In simple words, the relationship that a military dog shares with its handler for coordinating and trusting should not get any more personal. It is observed that if a dog gets too much attached to its controller, it affects the accuracy and work.
So, Treo was soon to be assigned a new handler and things were going to run at a faster rate for the young shiny black furred pooch.
An Experienced Friend
Treo, the Labrador Retriever was assigned to Sergeant Dave Heyhoe. Both Treo and Heyhoe’s accomplishments were at the top of their lists but now they were assigned as partners. They both started knowing each other which took a while at first. Who knew what was about to happen next will set up examples for the rest of us.
Experts Teamed Up
In 1986, Sgt. Dave Heyhoe became the part of the British Army’s Cheshire Regiment and had been working with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps for more than a decade. He is an expert in creating a strong connection with military dogs as he worked with other dogs in the past. Heyhoe wasn’t at all aware how this dog will change all his previous experiences with other animals.
Started Work
After gaining trust the duo started working together and continued for a few years together in Northern Ireland until 2008 when a life-changing event took place. Nothing could be done as this wasn’t our duo’s choice rather an order to be followed no matter what may come. Who would have guessed that this pair of a dog and his handler will be making history?
