This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the formation of the Search and Rescue Dog Association Isle of Man (SARDA IOM).
As part of their celebrations, the team visited Government House and gave a demonstration of the capabilities of both the dogs, their handlers and navigators.
The Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer and Lady Lorimer watched as Ruby, Steve and Mop were put through their paces.
The dogs found volunteers who were hiding out in the grounds of Government House.

Following all this hard work, everyone enjoyed a cup of tea and a slice of a decorated celebratory cake.
SARDA IOM are a registered charity, who use their expertise to assist in the search for missing persons.
All the handlers and navigators are volunteers, and are a vital component in the Isle of Man’s Emergency Service network.
