Venezuela quake revives rescue dog efforts
The article discusses the role of dogs in rescue operations following the Venezuela earthquake, where rescue teams rely on their strong sense of smell to identify survivors beneath the rubble during search efforts. Historically, dogs have been used in search and rescue missions since the 17th century, with formal training programs beginning in Germany in 1895, earning them the nickname "Mercy Dogs." During the two World Wars, dogs assisted in saving wounded soldiers and transporting supplies, with thousands of them sacrificing their lives in exchange for saving thousands of humans. Dogs depend on the scent of survivors, with breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and Golden Retrievers being preferred. They face challenges related to weather conditions and soil. Notable dogs celebrated for their heroic acts include "Jax," "Orein," and "Gide," who have contributed to rescuing many victims around the world.
