He tells us, “Dogs run fastest when an accident happens.” His partner Wylee, a life-saving dog, can search an accident scene the size of
23、 a football field. It only needs 5 to 10 minutes. However, 5 rescue team members have to spend a couple of hours in the same area.

24、arry their dogs to search sites in addition to carrying 60-pound backpacks with food, water and other equipment. The dogs need the lift so that they dont get tired before they start working.

Of those buried who werent killed by injuries, half die within 20 minutes. If there is a chance of rescue,
26、 though, the dogs also cut search time for the remains.

(要点3) However, through an experiment, a famous director Erica Mueller, spoke highly of the life-saving dogs in avalanche rescues. (要点4)
