Gratitude · Hats off to search and rescue dogs

Above, in Shiba Inu Miracle Story, Mary (a dog) watches a helicopter take her owner out of the disaster area.

The earthquake struck, and the rescue team came to the rescue in a helicopter. Mary meets Yasuda, a rescue team member, and desperately bites his trouser leg, leading him to the ruins that crush his master (Sai and Yuzo), who are finally saved, but due to the principle of giving priority to human life, the dog cannot get on a helicopter with them to leave the disaster area.

Of course, on this sad and heavy day, I am not in the mood to comment on a movie with everyone. At 16:30 Beijing time on August 3, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred in Ludian County (latitude 27.1 degrees north, longitude 103.3 degrees east) in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. On weekends, many people still enjoy the rare leisure of the weekend at home, but disasters are merciless. As of the time I wrote these words, the death toll from the earthquake has climbed to 381, and the number of injuries cannot be counted.

I wish the friends in the disaster area to survive this difficulty, may the deceased rest in peace, and the living be strong.

At the beginning of the article, I quoted the movie "The Wonder Story of Shiba Inu", and people who have seen it, I know that you must be like me, have been deeply moved by the story, and at the moment when Mary finally could not board the plane, I could not stop feeling sorry for her.

In fact, not only in the movie, around us, there is also such a group of selfless dogs - search and rescue dogs.

Search and rescue dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the diameter of the plane search can reach more than 100 meters, and the depth of the underground can reach several meters. "A trained search and rescue dog has a search and rescue capability of 30 to 50 people, and the dog's sensitive sense of smell can exert the ability of some advanced detection instruments."

Therefore, when large-scale natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, landslides, tsunamis, and avalanches occur, fire search and rescue dogs become the main rescue force. Trained search and rescue dogs can sniff out people buried more than ten meters deep under the ruins through keen senses.

One of the most famous search and rescue dogs in history is called "Bai Rui", who has successfully saved more than 40 lives in his lifetime! However, Barry was unfortunately shot dead in 1814 by mistakeing for a wolf.

As early as the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, the Shenyang Fire Brigade dispatched 10 trainers and 10 search and rescue dogs to Beichuan for the first time to participate in the earthquake relief, searching and rescuing 8 survivors and 134 victims, and the search and rescue ruins covered an area of 2867.83 square kilometers, known as the "brave dog God".

Today, we can still see many large numbers of running figures:

The Yunnan Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade mobilized 445 people and 12 search and rescue dogs to rush to the disaster area

At nine o'clock, the national rescue team flew to the disaster area of Ludian, Yunnan Province, carrying 8 search and rescue dogs

...

In these news, reporters invariably use "the closest comrades of firefighters" to call search and rescue dogs.

Search and rescue dogs are all around us, obscure on weekdays, and you can't even feel their presence. However, when disaster strikes, they are always on the front lines of disaster relief. They exist as if to save trapped humanity.

They never complain, and never tire of devoting all their strength to a better life for mankind. Now, maybe you are lying in a rocking chair eating sweet snacks and reading this article, maybe you are like xiaobian, paying attention to the latest developments in the disaster area but unable to do anything. But at this moment, there will be many search and rescue dogs, which have been unknown, and may not be known to you in this life, are running like phantoms in the disaster area, searching for all possible signs of life.

Hats off to you, my hero dog!

Finally, I hope that friends, especially those in the disaster area, will live strongly. I am here and look forward to the news of your peace.
