Introduction

Dentist and search dog handler David Watt flew 1100 miles around the Scottish mainland to raise money for charity in his home-built aeroplane. The Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA Lakes) is a voluntary organisation, dedicated to the use of search dogs to assist in search and rescue operations to locate missing persons, predominantly in mountainous environments.
