In pics | Here are the winners of International Dog Photography Awards 2022
Dalia Fichmann's 'The Avalanche Rescue Dog'
Dalia Fichmann, a photographer from Switzerland was the winner in the Portrait and Landscape category. The Avalanche Rescue Dogs are the first responders to look for people buried in avalanches. Fichmann says she companied rescue teams in Melchsee-Frutt.
"To capture the moment when the dog finds the buried person and digs through the snow, I lay down with the camera in a small, dark ice cave and let the dogs search for me. The moment when the snow cover opens up, the first ray of light penetrates the cave, the paws dig away the snow and the dog's nose sniffs towards you is wonderful,'' she says.
