            Eastern Ontario is not exactly known for its avalanches. But once
            a year, to break up the monotony of winter training, OVSARDA conducts
            a day of "avalanche" training. The goal of the training day is to teach
            the dogs that victims can be hidden in 3 dimensions - sometimes they are
            under the snow, or ground, or water.

location
Photo 4 - Diesel (Labrador Retriever X) discovers people can hide
under ground, too
