Ted is arguably the best rescue dog in the United Kingdom. He was instructed to look for the missing in the woods, folks who were frail and immobile.
He can follow a trail for several kilometers and will unmistakably lead the owner to a person. When the dog locates someone, he rushes ahead, returns to the owner, and leaps to his feet.
The dog’s extraordinary senses are based on his ability to detect human «chemistry,» or pheromones that an immobile person generates.
He was supposed to be a shepherd dog when he was a puppy. However, the dog’s owner observed how delicate the dog’s aroma was and thought that such a gift should not be squandered.
After appearing on a TV show about rural England, the dog was given a semi-official title and the unconditional adoration of millions.
The host took on the role of a lost mushroom picker, who ventured deeper into the woods and hid behind a tree. The dog had to track him down. And he did a fantastic job!
The owner and cameramen were escorted straight to the «shivering in the cold» showman. He didn’t have time to shiver properly, though, for rescue arrived in the blink of an eye.
