Good afternoon guys!

0:00:050:00:06

It's Martin here.

0:00:060:00:09

Coming up on Newsround: How you train a search and rescue dog.

0:00:090:00:16

And...

0:00:160:00:17

Leicester or Spurs?

0:00:170:00:19

You tell us who you're backing in the Premier League race!

0:00:190:00:23

A year ago today, the first of two powerful earthquakes struck

0:00:300:00:32

Nepal in central Asia.

0:00:320:00:33

Since it happened the UK has played a big part in helping people

0:00:350:00:38

there rebuild their lives.

0:00:380:00:42

Part of that included sending out search and rescue dogs from here,

0:00:420:00:45

and I've been along to meet them.

0:00:450:00:47

Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, looked like this

0:00:470:00:50

after the second earthquake hit.

0:00:500:00:53

It had a magnitude of 7.8, which means it was very strong.

0:00:530:00:58

Tremors were felt in nearby countries Pakistan,

0:00:580:01:00

Bangladesh and India.

0:01:000:01:02

Lots of buildings were reduced to rubble and lots of

0:01:020:01:05

families lost their homes.

0:01:050:01:06

The UK sent a huge amount of highly-trained search

0:01:060:01:09

and rescue teams to help, including doctors and firefighters.

0:01:090:01:12

Their jobs were to provide first aid, carry out searches,

0:01:120:01:15

and stabilise buildings.

0:01:150:01:19

And it wasn't just us humans doing the work.

0:01:190:01:23

Specialist search dogs, like this one, also played a big part!

0:01:230:01:26

I've come to this fire station in Birmingham, because this

0:01:260:01:29

is where these amazing animals are trained to become rescue dogs.

0:01:290:01:37

So, just how does a dog become a search and rescue dog?

0:01:370:01:42

It has to have certain elements - be very focused, have a lot

0:01:420:01:47

of drive, those are the main points we look for to convert a normal dog

0:01:470:01:51

into a search and rescue dog.

0:01:510:01:56

It's just one big game of hide and seek, where the dog goes out

0:01:560:02:01

looking for somebody with a squeaky ball, or a toy,

0:02:010:02:03

and once they find them they have to bark and once that happens,

0:02:030:02:06

they get delivered the toy.

0:02:060:02:10

In a real, live situation, when the dog finds somebody,

0:02:100:02:13

it will be me that actually has the toy, who will deliver them.

0:02:130:02:19

Can any dog become a search and rescue dog?

0:02:190:02:22

Not really.

0:02:220:02:26

I use border collies, but we have labradors,

0:02:260:02:31

springer spaniels, German sheperds as well.

0:02:310:02:33

So it tends to go down the route of the working breed,

0:02:330:02:35

making sure we can find people and save lives.

0:02:350:02:39

Right now, the UK's efforts are focused on helping the people

0:02:390:02:43

who live in areas like Nepal, by building homes,

0:02:430:02:45

schools and hospitals.

0:02:450:02:48

Isn't it great we have dogs like these, making sure the people

0:02:480:02:53

who live in the affected areas have a bright future.

0:02:530:02:57

The race to be Premier League champions has

0:03:010:03:03

come down to two clubs - Leicester and Tottenham.

0:03:030:03:05

The Foxes lead by eight points but Spurs will be looking to close

0:03:050:03:08

the gap tonight when they play West Brom.

0:03:080:03:11

You've been telling us who you want to win the title.

0:03:110:03:17

0:04:430:04:45

line quickest...

0:04:450:04:46

Backwards!

0:04:460:04:52
