Cutler with Mount Washington Avalanche Center Director Chris Joosen

Cutler, an avalanche dog who worked with the  Mount Washington Avalanche Center in New Hampshire, recently passed away.  With 11 years of service, Cutler spent nearly 80% of his life making Mount Washington a safer place for visitors to the White Mountain National Forest.  In addition to his rescue work, Cutler excelled at public relations, allowing the Mount Washington Snow Rangers to reach and educate many more people about avalanche safety.

Mount Washington Avalanche Center Director Chris Joosen has posted a great blog and photo album about Cutler and his work.
