Short report on Avi risk and rescue dogs, scary looking slide right at the end of the piece.

Parts of the BBC article were copied from my website, I will just mention this so you get an idea of where the BBC sources its information... some of the bits they didn't copy are erroneous.
I can see why some parts of the media get upset with the beeb and its website.

Yes OwenM, I noticed that. They did say "Yes, there is new technology to find those buried, such as the avalanche beacons that sensible skiers wear". New technology  Numpties!
