Bob and Cindy Boddy are Search & Rescue (SAR) K-9 handlers and members of the Fentress County Rescue Squad. They started their SAR careers as mounted horse teams. A few years later they switched to K-9 handlers and have actively trained and worked K-9s for the past 14 years.
Bob is retired from the Air National Guard and Comcast. In addition to mounted and K-9 work, Bob’s SAR career has included search management. He mentored youth in the 4-H competitive trail riding program and was a Scout leader. He is actively training Elinor, their Australian Shepard, for recovery searches on land. His dog, Rinn, is being trained for water recovery. For fun, Bob and Elinor compete in AKC rally.
Cindy is a retired paraprofessional for a Special Education program. In addition to being a mounted and K-9 SAR member, she has worked as a 4-H leader for 20 plus years and was also a Scout Leader. She is actively working two certified canines, Tyme and River, in area search and land recovery searches. For fun, Cindy likes to do agility and rally with Tyme, an Australian Shepherd. She does barn hunt with Zayle, a Miniature American Shepherd. She also certifies canines for Bright and Beautiful Therapy Canine services and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator.
The best part of Bob and Cindy’s day is working and playing with their dogs!!!
