Atilla, a much loved and respected SAR dog passes away

Atilla, a much loved and respected rescue dog recently passed away in Banff. This was the dog who responded to the Mount Cheops avalanche in 2003 that claimed the lives of seven teens from Calgary's Strathcona-Tweedsmuir school. He was also frequently called up to help find avalanche survivors and victims in incidents across British Columbia. Here he is with Parks Canada Dog Master Mike Henderson.
