The moment is captured when a brave Springer Spaniel in the UK is trained to enter disaster zones with mercy crews - and who even has his own uniform, including boots and goggles Monday (August 26).

Mac, aged three years, is an English Springer Spaniel trained by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to go into collapsed buildings to search for casualties.

Although Mac and his companion, Diesel, also a Springer Spaniel, are based in Scotland they could be sent on international rescue missions.

Diesel is now ten-years-old, so the fire service wanted to train a sprightly dog to help.

Born in Suffolk, England, Mac was taken to Portlethen, Aberdeenshire, aged just eight weeks old to start training with a specialist dog handler.
