International search and rescue teams continue to operate in Venezuela, where approximately 140 sniffer dogs from diverse nations are assisting in locating people buried under rubble after earthquakes.
The priority is to find survivors amidst the debris, in a situation described as devastating by authorities and humanitarian organizations. Dogs like Zira and Max from the Portuguese Search and Rescue Association are among those on the ground.
The dogs play a crucial role in identifying areas with potential victims, allowing human teams to proceed with greater precision in unstable structures and hard-to-reach locations. Their ability to operate in extreme conditions, amidst ruins and dust, makes them a vital hope in the search for signs of life.
