It is not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails by daring greatly; so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

2008 MACRT Board of Directors and Officers

Responding to people in distress has long been an honorable, charitable tradition. MACRT consists of a dedicated team of professional volunteers who carry on this tradition by donating thousands of hours to train their dogs for the sole purpose of helping others in times of need. All members are required to have a minimum of Basic First Aid and CPR. Many members have additional training, such as EMTs and Paramedics. All of our dogs are owned by their handlers and all costs incurred during training and responding on missions is the sole responsibility of the handler.
