ah, they watch on for pause italy readily doors on. do you know these places in europe or smashing all the wreckers step into a bold adventure? it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you are to record breaking sites on google maps, youtube and now also in book form. ah valentina and her labrador. it told her our mission to become life guns. keeping the speech is safe through the summer. the training at the 6 dog school ahead of a crucial exam. the training is exhausting,

but the dogs seem to enjoy it. the humans to glue most of the time. again and again, they pushed to their limits. will they achieve their goal? i think we'll keep practicing the technique already, but i may have just been lot ah ah, drive to the lake is become routine for labrador, it tory and valentina in so per only it's just after 8 am on a sunday. the dog is wide awake and ready to go. yeah, no, absolutely. yeah, absolutely. i. i mean, it's much longer de soto in the room at this time of year, over my temperatures to full to one degrees celsius. saw this thing

really saved me last time. i still, the water is going to be very cold, if with the interest. thank the valentina regularly pools on her wet suit. she loves her dog. she started the training course to give him something to do. oh, now she and her 4 legged friend are on track to become life gods. his harness gives it already extra buoyancy in the water. egg was it on? i did it that in the visa. you look great and your uniform big boy gigante. the school is 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 mcdowell, will be starting with rescue to do with people say they've already done training on

dry land now. train out over took a spot is exercises a, getting more difficult today. this simulating the rescue if 2 people ebay back when data circles your dog, you quickly swim to juliano young middleton. valentina works as a journalist. life guarding is completely new to her both. understand. both in front door is she la, now we're swimming longer. distance brisbin. last time, theoretically the dogs can hold back. we've never done it before i did with this is the her style emma, could on my bother with me. oh, well, well.

oh, nice go, go, go. first they practice for 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 in shoes the truman and dog compliment each other. a vanilla thought, not a human life guard wouldn't manage to save 2 people there. i mean, they'd have to swim out twice, which would take twice as long it wrestle, but there's a kind of synergy between human and dog ha, vault. the dog can also drag 2 people to safety means if it doesn't make much difference to the dog. got it on fargo, place better is strong enough to pin who people are now the they're very new about darby day. you have to swim. don't stop

swim wall by that door. oh, okay. i'll leave off the other day. morocco also came to life guarding through his lap until sophia he has been stayed experience, but only on land. he is an emergency nurse at a hospital. i'm a 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. i knew every day, 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's gonna be in for, sorry, sample. if you lamar, you at your neck and import, those 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

is just train which they do in their free time. everyone here has another job. saving lives on italy's speech 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 it. your name 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. you have old on the, on the lower granny occupant. this is the day before the sweetest and david a morocco isn't sure he's ready. the training exercises with the fear are going well the to work well as the tain, but he struggling with challenges in the pool. get him aspect the you. but if you wait for me to prepare the food, then she waits for my command to each item and i love the sphere drives him. he train 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. david,
