Two months ago Outside magazine senior editor Grayson Schaffer and his dog Danger joined the Los Alamos Mountain Canine Corps so that Danger could become a search and rescue dog.
Schaffer describes Danger as a “wicked smart, but willful” dog who initially didn’t take well to commands. But after consistent training and practice, Danger has made some progress and appears to have the potential to be a first-rate search and rescue dog. But will Danger’s rowdy, willful past return to haunt him and foil his chance to become a permanent member of the search and rescue team?
