The first two days of an online photo have attracted a lot of attention.
At first glance, do you think it's some kid who's playing dirty? And the true state of affairs is so painful for everyone that it's so tired that it's kind of like a maggot's big blond hair, and it's a real search and rescue dog. It's not like you think it's muddy, but it's a result of a long search and rescue in mud.
On 8 July, nine nearby villagers were buried in mudslides when Huangmei, in the north of the lake, slipped. On the first day of the disaster, the Hubei Fire Department quickly mobilized nearly 100 firefighters, including five search and rescue dogs, to conduct search and rescue operations.
Because of the complexity of the disaster site, in order to facilitate the access of search and rescue dogs to the site, all protective equipment had to be removed for them, directly into the rubble of mud and rubble. The movement of search and rescue dogs without any protective measures in the mud is very dangerous and difficult, and the physical energy consumed is multiplied, and the search and rescue at the scene is taking place, and five search and rescue dogs start to breathe.
However, in the aftermath of a disaster, time is life, neither firefighters nor five search dogs are able to rest at all and have been doing their best to search for life that could be buried in ruins.
The gold hair in the picture is one of the five search and rescue dogs, called the “graphs”, which can actually be seen from the colours, which should not be too young. The same is true of the fact that this year, when the figure is at the age of retirement, is scheduled to be officially retired this year. This time, it may be the last time in its search-and-rescue career.
The netizens were upset when they saw the pattern of “mix monkeys” after the search and rescue mission. More painful than Internet users are its trainers and firefighters with a fire brigade. The nine-year-old figure, which is already known as a veritable geriatric dog, is not too far away, and usually likes to lie down.
However, this is the case of an ageing search and rescue dog, who immediately enters working conditions at the site of the disaster, sniffing through the muddy ruins with its nose until he can't breathe. In the end, firefighters were in pain and forced to replace it from the disaster site before it could rest.
In spite of this, the figure has persisted in the search for 13 consecutive hours. It really dedicated everything to humanity.
After each disaster, search and rescue dogs are always at the forefront and contribute to the safety of human life and property. Even high-intensity, uninterrupted work results in an average life expectancy of search and rescue dogs well below that of ordinary dogs.
According to @Chinese fire statistics, 70 per cent of the survivors of the great Wenchuan earthquake were found by search and rescue dogs, and in the face of the disaster, humans could not save the silent warriors.
Yet there are many who have paid no heed to their dedication because they have no idea how hard search and rescue dogs work for humanity.
It is called Garret, but has carried out numerous search and rescue missions at the age of three. After 12 hours of contact, only a short five-minute break was immediately put into intensive search and rescue missions.
It was called a pig, and carried out a search-and-rescue mission in a landslide accident at Sun Yongshan, because of the presence of many toxic dusts in the ruins, which had been sacrificed on the fourth day following the end of the search for the inhaling of too many toxic and harmful substances.
It was called a tsunami, and two days and two nights after the Wenchuan earthquake, its tongue and limbs were cut with blood.
Its name is West Neighbor, and it was long overdue to retire from service in the service of humanity when it was 14 years old.
It is called the Golden Eagle, and besides the visible scars on its face, there are many visible and invisible scars on its body and leg.
More than that, there are search and rescue dogs who dedicate their lives to humanity without even a name. They do not speak and do nothing in silence, and they stand silently against all the wounds in order to save the people trapped in the ruins.
Each of them deserves our attention and high respect, and we hope that all of us will remember their contributions.
There is a saying: not all heroes wear cloaks, but also heroes who will shake your tail.
Don't think about them only in times of disaster. Be good to them, to their compatriots, and to those who have kept silently watch over us.
