“Bart” did not hesitate. 🐾 The Belgian Malinois from the Argentine Armed Forces received the order, went into a tunnel opened through the rubble, and signaled a positive presence. On the other side, two children were still alive.
The operation took place on Sunday afternoon in an area hit by two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. The team was already moving toward another point when the urgent call came in: people trapped alive in a collapsed structure. The signals detected by the dog made it possible to redirect the entire excavation toward the exact sector where the children were. 🏚️
Marines worked alongside him until the rescue was completed. At the end, the Venezuelan authorities present publicly recognized his performance. The Argentine Ministry of Defense confirmed it officially: without Bart, the search would have been aimed at the wrong place. 🐕🦺❤️
