The rescue team, which trains dogs to help search for lost walkers or climbers who may be trapped in snow due to avalanches or other mountain-related accidents, gave people a firsthand look at what it's like to be saved by a pup.

And though the real-life situations are very serious, the training video is absolutely precious.

In the video the rescue border collie named Flo can be heard barking and swiftly using her paws to dig away the pile of snow. At around 10 seconds her nose peeks through an opening, and she continues her mission to widen the gap.

At around 30 seconds Flo crawls through the opening she dug and rushes to the human's side to celebrate the successful rescue. Good. Dog.

According to Flo's bio, she's "an extremely intelligent, confident young dog with remarkable work ethic and drive," and has attended more than 30 "operational call outs for missing persons."

The rescue team also tweeted a photograph of Flo in action, alongside the question, "Ever wondered what it would be like to be buried in snow and found by one of our happy search and rescue dogs?"

If I'm being honest, I'd have to say no! But I'm extremely glad know now.

It's not every day you get to see a rescue firsthand without having to experience any danger, so it's very cool that England's Mountain Rescue Search Dogs gave people the opportunity to see what these brave dogs do.

The rescue group is committed to updating people with photos and video of the training process, so be sure to follow for more good rescue dog content.
