Rainier joined the team in October of 2017. He's a German Shorthaired Pointer mix who likes to play in the snow. Sometimes he helps with clean-up by carrying sticks around and chewing on them. Mostly he sleeps in the cab of the truck or barks at passing dogs. When he isn't working (which is all of the time) he spends his time restlessly awaiting the next trip into the mountains with Allen or Anne. After years of hard work Rainier has achieved the certification of Board Certified Master Dog with the International Society of Canids.
