Memorial to Latte

Latte, K9 partner and friend to Frank Silva - WMSD handler, died February 28, 2006.

We are saddened to report that Latte has passed unexpectedly.  She was a great Border Collie who owned Frank Silva and was partners with him for more than 12 years.  Latte & Frank had a great avalanche training exercise Saturday, February 25th in West Yellowstone and we took some wonderful photos.  Latte was a great search dog and everyone at Western Montana Search Dogs will miss her greatly.   Below is a photo tribute to a great dog and wonderful companion that will be missed beyond what mere words can describe.
