    I work with a K9 search and rescue team now and then. The team is very good at going deep into the woods looking for missing and/or dead people on scent trails that are sometimes over 24h old.

    One of the ladies used a black tactical rig full of pouches. But instead of gun stuff it held gps devices, radios, dog treats, toys, water, collapsible bowls and a dozen other things for her and her dog.

    So we geeked out for like five minutes over how useful it was. It’s a Condor Ronin Rig if anyone is curious

      a K9 search and rescue team

      Do American police seriously use this fun little pun for their dog units? Because it always sounds to me like they’re sending in a team of clunky robots.

        Blame the US military in WW2 who started the first US canine unit, they love acronyms and just shortening shit in general. It stuck and came to civilian America.
