ah, back on earth, he tells us about the everyday life of an astronaut. tomorrow. in 60 minutes on dw, i just got a thought they were gray, you blue mountain valentina and her labrador told it on a mission to become life guns, keeping the speeches safe through the summer. the training at the seek stokes school had it crucial exam. the training is exhausting, but the dogs seem to enjoy it. the humans too much to the sun

again and again, they pushed their limits. will they achieve their goal? will keep track to from the technique that may have just been lock. ah. drive to the lake is become routine for labrador and tory and valentina. and so for only it's just after 8 am on a sunday. the dog is wide awake and ready to go. yeah, no, lee lee, i'm not, i'm not. i mean, it's much longer to sell it to the room at this time of year. oh, my temperature is too full to, to could celsius this that i thought

a thing really saved me last time. i still, the water is going to be very cold. if it is it the it or a thank that valentina regularly pools on her wet suit. she loves her dog. she started the training course to give him something to do. now. now she and her 4 legged friend are on track to become lifeguards. this harness gives it already extra buoyancy in the water. egg was it on? i did it. as in the visa. you look great and your uniform big boy gigante. the school has called schooler italiana, connie silva, todd chill, or 6. the short. russia is mounting on the human canine teams. the final test is in 2 months. i, laura mcdonald will be starting with rescue to do with people say they've already

done training on dry land. now. try know, robert took his bodies exercises getting more difficult today. the stimulating the rescue if 2 people ebay, back when ben data circles your dog, you quickly swim to juliano leon middleton. valentina works as a journalist. life guarding is completely new to her. oh okay. understand you? dont door is right now were swimming longer. distant brisbin last time. theoretically the dogs can hold back. we've never done it before. i did with this is the 1st time i could my provider with him. oh, well, well

now my bank go, go, go. first they practice the basic movie. later, the dog will have to stay back until the swimmer who needs help is out of harm's way. the special technique ensures the truman and dog compliment each other. a vanilla thought a human life guard wouldn't manage to save 2 people there. i mean, think they'd have to swim out twice, which would take twice as long or so. but there's a kind of synergy between human and dawn. ah, was the dog can also drag 2 people to safety means that it doesn't make much difference to the dog. you've got it on fog or place that order is strong enough to control people to get hold of me. neither they nor bother dobby day. you have to swim, don't stop,

swim ward by that door. oh, okay. i'll leave off the happy day. morocco also came to life guarding through his lap. brideau, sophia, he has been stayed, experience but only on land. he's an emergency nurse at a hospital, hunted jail, no model, it's important to be able to do something meaningful with my dog. the exercise is with me and the dog are going pretty well. yes, i mean, but i still have to pass the swimming test. another very good nearby day. you're both super motivated than i. let's not lose that. and of the i'm also try to increase the motivation even more my it god sees the in force of it sample. if you lamar, you are thrown at any point. also davita still lacks enough stamina. he knows that he's currently the week amended his tain. immediately after the swim, the dogs are rewarded with some play time. oh yeah,

i see. yeah. i think until you are champion through like a bebo in the water with 30 years ago through tupelo, anger had the idea to make the use of animals rescue instincts. he develop special techniques and founded 6 that thought back at the lay class is in session. roberto explains that maneuvers in the water. unlike a dancer, the human must be in perfect control of the dog to avoid chaos during our rescue. man, a la spell judge is oral by meaning a door on the beach. you have children playing with balls, noise sandwiches, ice cream, lots of everything, any. if a dog gets distracted by that we can't work anymore. building old person for sale

to laura. the only thing to do is just train, which they do in their free time. everyone here has another job. saving lives on italy's beaches is something now to as volunteers, without paying valentina stop. you're not supposed to call him. it requires patience. and composure. i don't believe the man with the dog is focusing too much on the handler and not on the goal. the moment the handler says let's go than the goal has to be the person calling for help it love it. so i gave you the most of the time, the problem lies with the human not being able to clearly communicate. not everyone will make it to the final exam in june. before that, the humans themselves have

a big hurdle to clear that i love that it's your and i will put the handlers through a task in the swimming pool. needless to say, that's crucial for those who pass will make the final selection on. then we'll see whether the dogs are ready to you have old on the, on the lower granny occupant. this is the day before the sunni test. and david a morocco isn't sure he's ready. the training exercises with the fear are going well the to work well as attain, but he struggling with challenges in the pool. get em us better you. but if you wait for me to prepare the food, then she waits for my command to eat. i'm and i love the fear drives him, he trains 3 times a week. she was just 6 months old when she did jump into a pool 6 had set up at a trade fair. started a new,

it was the start of something big hit with the little but this in this is the video of the baptism of even selena or that 1st time she just listen when you go to it's a beautiful memory. it is not from believe of this, this was the beginning of everything i do with her to day in the course on the exam labs in the pool by the lake, the called the largo it all started with this jumpy. so hopefully a. so for the 3 years the to have been inseparable. he says the fear helps him to balance out his otherwise stressful, everyday life. love the alternate off i brought to what like we, she's my motivation and with the ultimate i want to give back to her the things she gives me every day with them individually accompany allah cheering up. after work,

little reese or law, i should make an effort to thank her to her lot. she deserves a married are committing us. i mean was forced love to me other jen it's the day of the swimming test. i need those who pass will be allowed to continue the course. valentina has to pass for a 2nd time last year. the course was canceled because of the pandemic. for davida, it's his 1st attempt they're both nervous helpful, you know, little bit. yes. well, you know, see it, but you have to keep your emotions under control. in the test requires concentration. and you have to manage your strengths of isn't not have been without any thoughts if answer, i'm excited. i'm going to give it my best w. o. o.

first up 25 meters of underwood swimming then the insurance face 8, length of freestar for in rescue style facing forward. i now get out. come on. who in under 10 minutes. in between come rescue jumps and head 1st tides and when their bodies were already feeling the strain they must swim with whites which are hot to hold on too . but after 8 minutes and 39 seconds helen tina has done it. ah, you with the journey killa?

mendota i did, it says he will make it through, but 10 won't. oh oh. among those his daughter ah ah! but i am off. unfortunately, it didn't work out. i'm still too slow. i'll have to practice much more and try again next year. it's a question of training. so it's, it's not impossible. impossible. mm

hm. for the all those training continues. it's now may, there are only 2 weeks until the final exam. that's when valentina will find out if only if it had to sunday spent in freezing water. who is it? because of the pandemic. she's already had to wait. ease, medium will order if you needed. we can't wait to be finished out. i say finished, but really it will be the beginning, jamara chip, a new tasks out, but for me it's taken 3 years. they don't fit german, them puts a long time. what so conquered the router? 3 an accomplishment. she the teens have to carry bags of stone weighing 8 kilograms. they're most up. the distance is a getting longer. giuliano dahlia, such an iraq, i know it doesn't wanna go look, been jamel in castle. when you get close to the person,

just say these 3 magic phrases, i'm here to help you. what is they call? give me your arm actual for that. oh yeah. oh okay, but what is the dog just want to cooperate during the test on saturday? when will mary grown? oh, jimmy to be allowed to try again. you absolutely have to go to the person who's in trouble and help them. what do you mean? try again. if you just drop out, you'll definitely fail child. i'll be right. oh boy. ok renewed. i didn't, i don't know now, no problem in a sense. so go my literally out. they don't really have any problems any more will gonna. there's a harmony between human and dog, where the owner goes, the dog follow. don't call nicola, is danny say, we're valentina and in to have made good progress. the labrador hardly leaves his side. still passing the test is by no means certain

despite the disappointment in the pool, neither did morocco hasn't given up. he loves his job as a nurse, and he's well suited to helping people. he still feels ready to take his skills into the water and conquer. she brought to develop nolan rossi. i'm going to try again next year, a lago yesterday i passed the preliminary exam at the lake to somebody. so if i pass the swimming test next year, the will is, i mean, i'll be ready for the final exam with my dog. the rhetorical reorder, the snellville, which i have you considered giving her permission and that's not an option. it's that kind of added, it will ensure to volunteer work of 6 continuous. ah,

if i shouted the people from the village would come by my you're i think a bullshit or g e. blair, me the go through. if it will, the big problem for the owners today will be excitement because the dog is very sensitive to the mood of its human partner law. they this walk on, on your model. even the schools found out through trip to linda has come from northern italy with his newfoundland dog reef. the yo yo plank wants to see if these candidates meet the standards. he said when he started 6, the school has 15 off shoots around italy. it's a global pioneer when it comes to canine or to rescue. i want to keep both. we're a team. i'm never alone, jojo, you every year that reef and i travel around italy to see if the dogs taking the test are following our philosophy. the quest,

or shape we got that is when you approach you form a real cross, remember or not like this or like that but correctly then you hold out the boy and say firmly, hold on the thought it. but if it's, if they don't take the bowie and keep paddling because they're not thinking clearly, then you pull it back and start over again. lobby. but in the bit, every by for this is up dummy, gobble the outstretched arms and needed to keep the drowning person at a distance. people in fear of drowning can develop tremendous strength. they can cling to the rescuer and put them under a train. it demonstrates how the rescue is life is endangered, like getting to close close with

a pin. if you could kill you as soon as you feel me pulling the bully towards me, get away with the way you swim away or i'll catch you. don't miss cooper. what do you have to ask me? are you alone? i am alone. ah ah. yeah. what abraham? oh my god, you will keep practicing the technique. good. at thought. a reacted. well, he was brave. he was near me. he followed me. i just agreed on it. linda got your name in the back of it went well, but it's just the beginning. talk of avalon,
