- Emma is trained in Mantrailing and
has been serving the community providing search services since 2000.
Born in Maury County, Tennessee in 1999, Emma was in a litter of 13 puppies
owned by a Tennessee SAR Dog Handler. The handler brought the litter to a
CSAR Seminar held in Maury County during that Spring, which was attended by the
Garvins, hoping to get lucky and find a search dog handler that was seeking a
puppy to adopt. The rest is history. She started training at only 4 months
old and was "raised" by Atalanta, following her around the backyard sniffing
anything she came across. In 2000, she went "in service" and began
handling real search emergencies. Emma's most memorable trail was of an elderly Alzheimer's patient who
boarded a SEPTA bus in Abington Township. Emma trailed the scent that had
emanated from the moving the bus for several miles resulting in a "safe-and-sound" location
of the missing person. Emma is also used for
Police-requested tracks of a criminal nature and is our "expert" on
tracks on pavement.
