Show Notes
Queenstown ski patrol head of department Brad Saville had been doing a three-month avalanche training programme with his rescue dog Bomber, in the mountains of Colorado, when the Covid-19 lockdown tore them apart.
Brad was able to get home before New Zealand closed its borders in late March, but Bomber had to stay behind and carry on the myriad tests and vaccinations to come back home.
Bomber finally landed in Auckland on May 26, endured the required quarantine, and was flown to Queenstown Airport last week
Brad Saville told Simon and Phil the excitement of the reunion was too much for both of them.
