He is quite paw-ssibly the cutest recruit to ever join the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. 

But little Corrie, a two-month-old Malinois Belgian Shepherd, is more than just a pretty face. 

According to handler and crew commander Gary Carroll, the fur-midable pup has been performing well since the moment he em-bark-ed on his training course. 

The clever boy has even begun tracking the scent of humans by using his toy. 

After two years of intensive training, Corrie will paw up with current urban search and rescue dog Mac, helping scour landscapes for survivors. 

Gary said: ‘It’s an extremely exciting time and training began as soon as I got him.

‘I’m always looking for a dog with a high play drive as it builds a strong desire from the dog to be rewarded.

‘Straight away Corrie showed that and is performing extremely well so far.’

Corrie will be assessed and graded and if successful join already qualified Mac.

Both will be following in the paw prints of retired urban search and rescue dog Diesel.

Gary and Mac are on-call for incidents across Scotland but are also part of a UK International Search and Rescue team.
