Everyone loves a good feel-good doggo story; so get ready to have your day made. Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England is an organisation that helps to train rescue dogs so they can help rescue people who are lost or missing in the countryside.

The Search and Rescue Dog Association was founded in Scotland in1965, after Hamish MacInnes attended an International Red Cross Search Dog course in Switzerland. MacInnes saw the potential for the skills he learnt from training avalanche search dogs to be used in finding lost walkers in the UK countryside. They recently posted a video, which shows one of the training exercises.

Volunteers go out and hide in the countryside and wait for the dogs to find them.

It's one of the best training exercises for the dogs.

The dogs are trained to search for people who may be buried in the snow.

One volunteer decided to video the rescue mission.

Soon after, a little nose appears!

The dog finally pushed through.

And "rescued" the volunteer.

The cute and brave dog is named Flo, she's four years old and an absolute hero in my eyes.

Here's the full video of the rescue.

The Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England Twitter page has a lot of adorable pictures of their rescue dogs.

This one is relaxing after work.

They get to play after they find the body!

Look at Roy being interviewed by the news!

Here's a picture one of the volunteer bodies being found!

Naturally, people loved the story

True

Dogs are too good for us.

Catch me adding a tennis ball to my hiking supplies so I can reward a puppy for finding me when I get lost.
