Coach Barry Switzer raises money in Tulsa to train rescue dogs

Thursday's event in Tulsa was a fundraiser. An auction to be exact with some big ticket items like 50 yard line tickets to a Dallas Cowboys game, a round of golf at Southern Hills with Joe Washington and Switzer as your caddy. Then, there were these canvasses.



"Plays drawn up from Roger Staubach, Lincoln Riley, Archie Manning, all my friends and people I know like Troy Aikman. All these guys have drawn up their favorite plays, their past plays," said Switzer.



The money raised will go toward training, but also toward an even bigger goal.

"We want to build a wonderful campus on 120 acres that we have in Tuttle, Oklahoma. Hopefully we'll get that done someday and someone will carry it on, and we'll continue producing the best dogs in the country," Switzer said.



It's Switzer's way of solving the shortage of search and rescue dogs, and he tells us that he thinks there's no better place to do that than right here in Oklahoma, the heart of the United States.
