Benkő Zsolt has been involved with dogs continuously since his childhood; according to him, his life has always revolved around these four-legged companions. Zsolt, who lives in Farkaslaka and works as a mountain rescuer and dog trainer, believes that professional work with dogs is not just a hobby or sport but a way of life. More than 10 years have passed since he took his dogs to "training camp" and trained them to search for missing persons in mountain terrain, thickets, and both hidden and open areas. He was the first in Hargita County to have dogs that acquired this skill—before that, dogs were brought in from Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár when a missing person needed to be found.
