South Korean village in the Suyen district, located outside Beijing's Six Circles, in the middle of the winter, with its grass and trees swung, the river was silent, and there was a great deal of noise on one of the ruins. In piles of rubble, cement pipes, steel plates and tyres, a golden fur dog continues to run, climbs, jumps, sniffs, and after about 10 minutes, it screams loudly, which means that it succeeds in “search and rescue” and finds someone.
This was a search and rescue dog training organized by a private institution in Beijing. It currently has 12 trained dogs, 9 of which have rescue capacity. When they do not perform their duties, dogs practice only on sites built at simulated accident sites. barking is a sign of the discovery of survivors, so they remain silent even when injured during training.
Qualified search and rescue dogs can play an immeasurable human role in disaster situations. Official Weibo of the National Fire Service has released data that 70 per cent of the survivors of the Wenchuan earthquake rescue were found by search and rescue dogs, whose ability to distinguish the scent is a million times greater than that of humans, and whose hearing is 16-18 times greater than that of humans, who, under conditions of sufficient wind, can smell the human odour within a radius of 10 metres and 100-200 square metres in diameter.
One night, the trainer, Hoshio, received reports of mudslides in Ya'an Hangen district in Sichuan, where she arrived with search and rescue dogs driving over 2,000 kilometres. Before the collapse of the mountain, the hush-hush saw a “deepness” in the eyes of the child. She is familiar with the dementia of dogs and realizes that it is difficult to find survivors in this area.
This was the first time that “dogs were born” had done their job without much success. However, it is still a “genius puppy” in the eyes of the hush-hush. A few months ago, it took the “test”, found three “survivors” in a 2,000-square-metre examination, passed the “Global Standard Search and Rescue Dog Certification”, and the examining magistrate was the President of the Croatian Search and Rescue Dog Association. With this international “academic”, we are full of search and rescue dogs.
More than a year ago, he was a stray dog. As a golden furling dog, it was marked with a long, hairy and dirty knot that followed the gills all the way to the training base. The hussil, judged by its size and urine habits, is about half a year old.
Upon arrival at the base, the Hossik found that the ball was very well picked up, not unlike a top search and rescue dog there. The next day, he took him to the training site and found him very excited and ran on the ruins “as if he were born here”. He said that after finding its owner had failed, she had decided to train it as a search dog and named it.
Zilong is the first dog in the country to “transfer” from a stray dog to a search and rescue dog. Indeed, many of the first-degree search and rescue dogs trained by his colleagues were “civilian origins”. For example, in the field of wide-area search and debris search, it was the base's founders who passed the Sichuan market with “eye-to-eye”; Bart who sold it to a failed businessman in Beijing; and Heaven (means paradise) who had an earthquake rescue experience, who were abandoned domestic dogs.
