Labrador Bailey becomes Essex Fire and Rescue Service search dog
A Stray Labrador, described as " unruly, untrainable, unsociable, rude and stubborn" has proven to be a natural search dog after being trained for a new career.
Dogs Trust in Loughborough put out a plea for someone to take on Bailey, and Essex Fire Service Dog Handler Graham Currie came to The Rescue .
He Said he was worried as Labradors could be " Greedy " but that Bailey preferred a Tennis Ball to food.
He will join The Service next year.
'Incredible creature'Mr Currie said he had been looking for a while for a new dog to train when he heard about Bailey.
" After testing Bailey's drive for a Tennis Ball and checking he had no aggression towards other dogs or people, I offered to take him on a six-week trial, " He Said .
" The biggest thing was Getting Him in The Van because he associated it with being taken to a compound, but within 24 hours he was taught to associate it with fun.
" I was reluctant to take a Labrador as they can be Greedy and distracted with food, and I was looking for a springer, cocker or sprocker spaniel bitch, because I've found they are less stubborn and easier to train, but Bailey has got that drive and he's not Greedy - he'd take a ball over a bowl of food every time.
" He was described as unruly, untrainable, unsociable, rude and stubborn. But a dog that cost us £185 has turned out to be The Most incredible creature. "
He Said the 18-month-old dog was " one of The Most natural search dogs I've ever Seen - he's like a Mountain Goat - Nothing fazes him, he has no fears or phobias".
" A Police Trainer and colleague said if we could clone this dog, all our problems would be solved, " he added.
Although it can take up to three years to train a search dog, The Fire service said Bailey could be on duty as early as April next year.
