								<p>Skye is a search and rescue dog with Texas Task Force Two. He is helping with the devastation from Harvey and locating victims. </p>
															<p>He once was a stray dog found by the Western Hills Humane Society, with an ID tag from Chadron, Neb. But with no one to claim him, he was taken in by the South Dakota Canine Center in Sturgis, which finds shelter dogs and helps place them in working careers in all areas of detection work. </p>
																							<p>He was trained through a special program in California and then placed with handler Andrea Sutcliffe and sent with her to Texas. </p>
																							<p>Co-owner of South Dakota Canine Center Kellee Matthews says she is proud of Skye and how he is representing South Dakota. </p>
																							<p>"These phenomenal  dogs can be found right here in our shelters,” said Matthews. “The very first dog we found here was Skye so he's pretty special to us. "</p>
																							<p>The center also evaluated two other dogs currently in Houston. Decker from Sioux Falls and Billie from Littleton, Colo.<br/></p>
