Drone saves dog Sepp for hours of searching in Western Pomerania!

Bugewitz, Deutschland - In an emotional rescue operation, the heat image drone of the company thermal drones found the run out within just 30 seconds. On Monday evening, the family dog ​​of Dorothee Adenstedt and Günther Hoffmann released in Bugewitz, district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, while hanging on a 15-meter-long towline. The desperate owners searched over nine hours for their beloved four -legged friend, but without success.

The following day the dog owners turned to Tobias Dahms, who works at thermal drones . Dahms, who had previously traveled in Saxony-Anhalt, immediately returned to Western Pomerania. Equipped with the latest thermal imaging technology, Sepp could finally be localized quickly while he seemed unimpressed by the excitement around him.

technology for animal welfare

The possible uses of drones to detect wild animals grow steadily. As The BMV , drones can now be used legally unproblematic in agriculture. In particular, the rescue of fawns during spring mowing has achieved new dimensions. It is estimated that up to 20,000 fawns could be saved with drones last season. This positive development is primarily due to the regulations issued in March 2024, which previously repealed restrictions on the use of drone.

With the new general order, a special geographical zone is created, in which the minimum distance from drones to residential areas can be reduced to 10 meters, provided the drones fly lower. This opens up considerably more possible uses to the operators, since they can now use over 90 percent more space to rescue wild animals.

experiences and innovations

The company Thermal Drrones has specialized in drone-based wildlife rescue since 2010 and has established itself as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center. With over 15 years of experience in the industry, it offers a variety of services, including the development of special software solutions for wildlife detection as well as training and support for dealing with drones. Particularly noteworthy is the Poisuite, which enables cloud-based networking and team coordination.

The emotional moment of saving Sepp was not only for the dog owners, but also for Tobias Dahms. Günther Hoffmann had introduced Dahms to the fawn batch years ago, which finally led to the foundation of Thermal Drones. This connection and the use of modern technology make it clear how important innovations in animal welfare are and what reliefs you can bring in everyday life.
