Chase is a Rhodesian Ridgeback with big dreams. He wants to join a search and rescue team, but the path ahead demands everything he has. The training pushes him hard.

Search dogs carry special responsibilities. Their sharp sense of smell can mean the difference between life and death. Their night vision cuts through darkness when human eyes fail. Their hearing picks up the faintest calls for help. Chase knows that missing people, lost hikers, and injured victims will depend on him. The work will test every skill he develops and every lesson he learns. This is his chance to become the search dog he was meant to be.
