By: SAKinterMedia The second annual Big Lick Vet Tails & Trails K9 5K Run, will be held Saturday, November 3, 2012, at North Cross School – Cross Country Course in Roanoke County. Participants can walk the 1-mile or run the 5k course with their dog. Last year was the first of its kind in the region and had over 300 participants! Who: The Virginia Canine Recovery Team (VCRT) is a volunteer team that works closely with federal, state, local and volunteer groups in an effort to reunite families and their missing loved ones. Their mission is to serve as a first responder team in local and national disasters, and to supply Law Enforcement and missing person agencies with highly skilled and professional human remains detection dog teams for the purpose of investigating missing persons and homicide cases. Big Lick Veterinary Services is close to this cause as two of their K9 patients are on the search and rescue team. Their handler - a close friend of the Harrington family whose daughter, Morgan Dana Harrington, was tragically abducted and murdered in October 2009 while attending a concert at John Paul Jones Arena on the University of Virginia campus – was inspired to donate her time after watching the dogs participate in Morgan’s search.
