As many of you here know, I'm part of a K9 search team with my dog Lilly.

Recently, Lilly and I have switched teams. Lets just say it's a huge improvement.

This new team..... Coastal Carolina Search Team was involved in around 12 searches last year and we've already been on one this month. The last one, just last week, made the evening news the other day. We had 11 team members and our trailing and HRD K9's on site and searching for a missing boy. 3 year old Casey Hathaway had gone missing. Temps in the 20s and rain.... he was found alive on the 3rd day not more than a quarter mile from where he disappeared.

This is what we do. We do it so that others may live, and to bring a certain kind of closure to the families of those who don't survive. We also work at the request of law enforcement.

We are all unpaid volunteers who take time off from family, friends, and work, to train and search. Our team is a certified non-profit. We're doing a fund raiser to cover our operating and training costs. PM me or visit the link I post, if you're on facebook and would like to know how you can help us. The Facebook link has a pic of my dog in the woods.

Thanks for a minute of your time..... and if you're on FB... find me and send me a friend request.

Herb & Lilly the K9.

BTW: I've been on this new team only a few months and have been on 2 high profile searches ( both made the national news )

Herb,

I greatly admire those who freely give their time to help others in desperate situations.

Is their any non-Facebook place to make a donation? I don't have Facebook membership.

Regards,
Noel

I was happy he was found alive, especially with the weather/temps outside those nights.

Thank you for your service. I'm sure his family is eternally grateful as well. It was an amazing outcome.

This is the one where the boy said he spent some time in the company of a bear, correct?

Music Trax: You are correct. The first night he was missing had temps in the mid 20's. Then it rained. Not just a drizzle, but a downpour. Over 2" during the second night and following day. Casey was wearing a light jacket. I was called in on Thursday with my HRD dog. When we get the call it's because they do not expect the person they're looking for to be alive. It had become a search and recovery. I don't know if you believe in God, and miracles, but I do, and that's what this was.


Notes Norton: These are some of the most selfless, dedicated, people you will ever meet. It's a privilege to be a small part of what they do.

You are correct Bob. At our last team meeting, they reviewed the year 2018 and the dozen or so searches the team had been on. 2018 was not a good year because every search either turned up never finding the person we were looking for or finding them deceased. It's always good to find them alive.
