An underwater sniffer dog that can find human remains by standing at the bow of a boat and sniffing the air has retired – after 11 years of service.
Springer spaniel Barra, aged 12, specialized in submerged-victim recovery and is Scotland’s first and only underwater sniffer dog.
Barra undertook 10 months of special training as a pup and has spent the last decade working with police and families all over the United Kingdom.
