When two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, rescue teams rushed to search through collapsed buildings and find people trapped beneath the rubble. Amid the destruction, an unexpected hero emerged and captured the attention of people around the world. Tsunami, an 8-year-old Border Collie, used his remarkable sense of smell to help rescuers locate survivors buried under damaged structures.
The rescue dog, working alongside his handler Jorge Beens as part of the K-SAR ECID rescue canine unit, helped locate at least 13 people alive, including a 60-year-old man who had spent around six days trapped beneath the wreckage.
