Search and rescue dog Vesper is the finalist in the Extraordinary Life of a Working Dog category in The Kennel Club Hero Dog Award 2024. Vesper, a four-year-old Belgian Malinois, has saved lives and given hope across the world with her handler, Niamh Darcy from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service. In 2023, Niamh and Vesper were part of the chosen UK International Search and Rescue Team and were deployed by the Government to aid in the rescue mission following the horrific earthquakes in both Turkey and Morocco, where they worked tirelessly to locate survivors.
