Ray Cooke…….click to read more

Ray’s son is the founder  of Dorset Search Dogs and as a Dad he thought he would get involved and help in any way he could.

Ray is one of our amazing non operational supports. He helps the team by running control on a training night manning the radio  and keeping track of activity.  He is also a willing dogs body: a person who hides in a given area  for the dogs  to practice their search skills.

New trainees will get to know and love Ray at an early stage for his ability to rustle up a mug of hot chocolate  from the boot of his car, a life saver at the end of a wet and cold training night.
