Teak's claim to fame was as a Search and Rescue dog for Jackson County, Oregon. The best save he had was an 80 year old woman who had wandered out the back door of her home and become lost. Several search teams had gone looking for her, but had come up empty. Darkness was approaching quickly and it was important to find her. Teak was brought in and he immediately went to work. He dropped his nose at the back door and took off! He ran down an incline and under a thicket of berries, was the woman! She was trapped there by the long thorns of the bush and was stuck! Teak was a hero and he was honored on the evening news for his find!
