Episode 33 Louise Heppleston, Dogbody, helping train dogs to save lives on the moors

Dave Boardman Season 2 Episode 33

Louise Heppleston is a 'dogsbody'. This involves hiding on the moors for an hour or two waiting to be found by dogs as part of their training in finding people lost who need rescuing by Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team - the sort of thing few people know actually happens but essential in training dogs to hep save lives. Louise is also part of the reinvigorated group  aiming to create an accessible outdoor swimming area in the Upper Calder Valley... as usual we can add 'among other things'
