Title: Go Find Pdf My Journey to Find the Lost
Susan comes to believe that a puppy and working on ski patrol at the last great ski town in Colorado will improve her life. When she learns about avalanches that bury people without warning, she challenges herself: “What if I teach a dog to save lives?” This quest propels her to train the best possible search dog, vowing to never leave anyone behind.
With no clue how to care for a houseplant, let alone a dog, she chooses a five-week-old Labrador retriever, Tasha. With the face of a baby bear and the temperament of an NFL linebacker, Tasha constantly tests Susan’s determination to transform her into a rescue dog. Susan and Tasha jockey for alpha position as they pursue certification in avalanche, water, and wilderness recovery. Susan eventually learns to truly communicate with Tasha by seeing the world through her dog’s nose.
As the first female team in a male-dominated search-and-rescue community, they face resistance at every turn. They won’t get paid even a bag of kibble for their efforts, yet they launch dozens of missions to rescue the missing or recover the remains of victims of nature and crime.
Training with Tasha in the field to find, recover, and rescue the lost became Susan’s passion. But it was also her circumstance—she was in many ways as lost as anyone she ever pulled out of an avalanche or found huddled in the woods. “Lostness” doesn’t only apply to losing the trail. People can get lost in a relationship, a business, or a life. Susan was convinced that only happened to other people, until Tasha and a life in the mountains taught her otherwise.
Pretty cool story, very informative It was a pretty good book. The opener left me wanting to get back to that scene, and resolved, so it was frustrating that it took ten years and the whole book to get back to that point. At one third of the way through, I almost canned it, because they still had only covered training episodes, and still no participatory rescues, and I was chomping at the bit for the real deal. I hung in there, and it did start to change afterward. But the purpose of the story was multifold, and the evolution of the author, and her dog was a key foundation. And it was very informative, and made for good reading. I had to rest at one in the morning because my eyes were killing me. But I picked it right up again before even getting out of bed the next morning. It becomes compelling, and engrossing.An amazing journey, honestly told. I’m a bit of a science nerd, so one of the things I loved about this book was how dogs use scent to find people. For example, the author explains how a dog can detect one molecule in a trillion and link it to a specific person. What’s more, there is a lot of complicated science behind how scent moves over a landscape depending on the sun and wind and water, and learning about that was really fascinating.The end of the book was particularly powerful and was a nice payoff. The links that were drawn by the author as she struggled to hold on to her most important relationships—her husband and her dog—were quite moving. Specifically, our human need to make promises because those promises sustain us and help us survive from day today. But what happens when promises can’t be kept? Some promises simply don’t last because fulfilling them is beyond our control. When promises are broken, we lose the structure that holds our world together…that’s how we get lost.Overall a great read!If you love adventure, nature, personal growth and dogs, this book is for you! Go Find took me on a unique, heartwarming and exciting adventure. The author is a free-spirit who does a beautiful job telling the story of her many adventures and the relationship and career struggles that accompanied her along the way. The book documents her experiences as she developed herself into an international expert on using medical knowledge and a dog to rescue people from avalanches, drownings and much more. If feel as if Sue and her dog Tasha took me by the hand to traverse mountains and rivers, politics and relationships, while at the same time, somehow she educated me plenty about the process of rescuing lost people and victims of avalanches.If you love adventure, nature, people and dogs, this book is for you. If you seek kinship in relationship, career and human growth struggles, you will find a gem here. And experienced search and rescue people---who want to learn from an expert's challenges---will discover a real-world education wrapped up in a beautiful narrative.Warning: be prepared to shed some tears at the end of this book.Heartily recommend!
