‘Animal OBE’ for Cheshire rescue dog
An outstanding search and rescue dog from Cheshire is to be honored by leading vet charity PDSA at a special ceremony on 16 March 2017.
Thirteen-year-old Border Collie Bryn will receive the PDSA Order of Merit – the animal equivalent of the OBE – for his outstanding devotion to duty.
Working with UK’s International Search and Rescue Team, Bryn was deployed to Japan in 2011 after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, and Nepal (2015) following the earthquake which killed and injured thousands.
During his 11 year career he was also deployed across the UK, assisting with searches at building collapses, gas explosions and missing persons.
