A furry friend has the best chance of saving lives in avalanches

Snowbird, UT – Sprinting through the snow and working for a tough tug, is usually where you can find Frank. While this adorable black lab plopping through powder may look like fun and games, he’s actually an avalanche dog in Snowbird, Utah. Marguerite Van Komen has spent 17 years on ski patrol and has had Frank since he was just 49 days old.

Now, nearly 8 ½ years later, he’s a senior dog at Snowbird alpine resort and proving how these animals can save lives.
