Edmonds' Keb, who combed Oso mud, up for Hero Dog of the Year
EDMONDS — What this 12-year-old yellow Labrador sees as a game is life-changing for others.
Keb specializes in sniffing out human remains at crime scenes and natural disasters. She has deployed on over 100 missions with about a half-dozen “finds” in her career. Three of those were victims of the Oso landslide in 2014.
In August, American Humane named Keb the National Search and Rescue Dog of the Year. Now she is in the running with six other dogs working in service fields for Hero Dog of the Year.
Keb is one of several dogs owned by Suzanne Elshult, 69, a trainer from Edmonds. She and her dogs volunteer 15 to 20 hours a week with Cascadia Search Dogs, a Washington nonprofit. Elshult serves as its president.
