Rescue dogs teamed with search drones

WINTERBERG, Switzerland - Capo, a golden retriever wearing a bright orange rescue harness, runs with his handler in tow toward a body sprawled in the high grass as a giant drone whirs overhead.

The scene was part of a simulated dog rescue operation this week aimed at highlighting the rapidly growing use of drones to help speed up and expand such searches in Switzerland.

The exercise took place on Wednesday, the same day a massive landslide on the Piz Cengalo mountain in the Swiss Alps left eight people missing and triggered a search-and-rescue mission in which dogs and drones were deployed.
