COSAR Rescues Person and Dog in Separate Searches

We want to thank COSAR and other volunteers for their amazing work, dedicating their lives to saving others. We hope the individual and dog are doing well, as this is a reminder to all dog owners to make sure your dog is leashed to prevent them from running away. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
