"Ali" (also known as "Butzi") was three months when he started training with MARK-9 to become a SAR Dog. He loves to search and is always eager to achieve. Ali likes to be the center of attention and makes sure he gets it! His hobbies include a little work in the garden (digging), bothering everything that doesn’t belong to him (everything), and watching TV. Ali shares his home happily with two German Shepherds, Sadie and Sergeant, and is very proud to be their little brother. He loves his big sister "Sadie" who is also a SAR Dog on the Team, and he loves to get on big brother Sergeant's last nerve.
