A very special pup has grown up to be a hero.
Kal, an expert sniffer with the RCMP, has been praised by his handlers for rescuing two missing children recently.
The kids, aged four and six years old, disappeared near the Mamquam River in Squamish.
With the river running high, the Mounties were called to save the day.
Kal was with them and, after being dispatched with the ground search team, he soon found the missing youngsters.
The RCMP explained: “The pair were located just 500 metres away in thick brush, playing in a pond, looking for minnows and blissfully oblivious to the land and water search happening around them.
“Kal wants all kids on summer holiday to stay safe and stick close to your parents!"
