    Storyline

    Edit
    The story of Matthew Zarrella, a Rhode State Police Sergeant who rehabilitates "pound dogs" and turns them into Search & Rescue/Recovery Dogs. Through this film, audiences are exposed to a rare and intimate true story about Matthew, his dogs and his students, and they witness extraordinary moments as he trains them to find missing persons. From Matthew's video diaries, filmmaker interviews and four years of real-time searches, we understand his motivation to help others, and his empathic methods of finding the lost and missing. —Mary Healey Jamiel

    Amazing!
    It's hard not to fall in love with this truly amazing dogs and the spirit of their sergeant trainer.

    You hope and pray you never need their services but really glad to know they're in the wings. I was so moved - had the tissues near by and my little furry friend next to me.

    Wonderful film and wonderful dedicated people xo
