Story of the day. Valeriy Sugrobov: Skype Pet Detective in “Finding Donut”

http://together.skype.com/en-us/pet-d... 

"The things we can do with Skype can sometimes prove to be quite unexpected and delightful. 

For 25 years, Valeriy Sugrobov has been searching the streets of Moscow for everything from cats and dogs to crocs and hedgehogs — if it’s a pet and it’s lost, he’ll find it (most of the time). Before turning his talents to the field of pet detection, Valeriy had been a police officer in Moscow. With all this experience under his belt, being a pet detective is a job Valeriy not only takes very seriously, but one at which he is incredibly talented.

Skype plays a big role in his investigations. When time is of the essence, Valeriy is able to take a case immediately by interviewing people over Skype as well as file sharing images or necessarily documents for the missing pets. 

Of course some of his methods are a bit unconventional. For instance, a hot broth of the owner’s socks is sprayed near where a pet was last seen and turns out to be very effective. Hear Valeriy’s Top 5 Tips for Finding a Lost Pet.

When a pet is found that’s where Skype proves most effective in Valeriy’s work. He makes a video call over Skype mobile to instantly ID the pet, and in some cases, he needs the owner to call out to the pet to lure them out of hiding places.
