![]() “Louie took off and everybody was out trying to find him. I think I can find it.’ The whole town was out looking for Louie, and she told everyone to go home and leave it all to her, and she found him.”Ĭhar remembers that search fondly. ![]() It was only up for an hour, and she phoned Louise and said ‘there’s a dog missing. “My friend Louise put up a Facebook post and she (Spinosa) saw it. “She (the boarder) opened the door, and Louie got out,” says Worthy. One of those tales stars Louie, a tiny Maltipoo rescue who bolted from a dog boarder while his companion, Niagara-on-the-Lake resident Barbara Worthy, was away in Africa. And I give them a tutorial on how to do a poster, and how to put it up.”įinally, of course, there are the tails, which are actually tales of successful search and rescue operations mounted by Spinosa. The tips are what I’ve learned, and that comes into lost dog behaviours. Then, the techniques, the different ways that you can use the tools, where to use them, how to use them. “I go through different tools, and explain their use, when they’re good when they’re not so good. Then it flipped, because I thought I can do more with this if I include more.” “Originally, I was going to write a book about the stories over the years. “What good is knowledge if you can’t share it?” Spinosa asks. Subtitled Tools, Tips, Techniques & Tails, the book is the culmination of six years of Spinosa chronicling her rescue stories and developing her own methods for search and recovery. With her self-published new book, K9 Tracker S & R: Lost Pet Recovery, Spinosa is hoping to help even more distressed pet lovers reunite with their lost friends. That ability has come in handy over the past 10 years as she has aided in the search and rescue of more than 100 dogs, most of them in the Niagara region. Spinosa, who hangs her shingle out as Niagara’s K9 Tracker, is able to quickly read a dog’s personality and predict its behaviour. Unlike those television characters, though, Spinosa works her magic on those of the canine persuasion. Like the lead characters in a number of FBI-centric television shows of late, Spinosa possesses the ability to know more about her subject than that subject seems to know about itself. Some refer to her as a dog whisperer, but a more accurate title for Char Spinosa might be a dog profiler. The photo was taken after decompression in her ‘furever’ home. (Photo supplied) Spinosa trapped her in Fonthill Cemetery. Jazz was a rescue from Louisiana that ran away from an adopt-athon event in St. She is pictured with Jazz, one of the dogs she’s found over the years. Char Spinosa's knowledge of dogs and dog behaviour helps her find run-aways.
