tough, tough situation.  how do search half a state...open country?  for the harts..  i  would the cops for all names and numbers of all K-9 search teams..  it may be the cost of a plane ride they would have to pay (person and dog) to transport the team here.    i  remember reading of people doing it for free out of the goodness of their heart and the dogs need on-going practice to keep them sharp and focused,  and that is a fact the harts can use in negotiating a price. i'd also try to make it national news somehow. the more exposure the better.  go to msn.com - look for a similar subject matter , look at who the stories source really is and get in touch and tell a good compelling  story.   she's white  and pretty and unfortunately that makes a difference.  a mom of three is missing and she needs to be found.  if this oakes is hung up in california right now...  for how long?
 i so wish things will  work out good and right for these folks because it is so wrong right now...god bless.
