When most people think of service dogs, they tend to either think of guide dogs
who help the blind or police canines who search for drugs or fugitives, but
there is another class of service dogs who perform an equally vital role but who
generally remain in the background.
It will likely come as a surprise to area residents that the home of the South
Carolina Search and rescue Dog Association (SCSARDA) is based right here in
Spartanburg County, and for the past week the association has played host to an
advanced training seminar that drew teams from all over the country.
