Internet Browsing, I found a post, which tells the story of a English Water Dog, and his performance as a rescue dog in the recent disaster in Haiti. For your interest I reproduce it and I review the final web author and source:
"... 'Turk' is an Andalusian dog and his story begins, like Dali and Bunuel film, with a fine knife sharp.
Where appropriate, the pit was in the neck. They drew their owners and the microchip, a common practice among owners of the 150,000 dogs are abandoned each year in Spain, as many human victims in the earthquake of Haiti. No chip, no complaint. The animal loses its identity and, almost always lose their lives. `Turk ', a peasant boy, maybe a Christmas present, he wandered no one knows how long on the outskirts of Tarifa, in the summer of 2008 and ended in a field of operations. It was caught by soldiers who were firing exercises, died of thirst, a bag of bones, full of fleas and parasites. And with a pedruscazo on the muzzle still oozing, courtesy of another 'lover' of animals. Turkish
was so traumatized that he forgot how to bark like a child is silent about the abuse. A year after her ordeal, the dog was unable to utter a wow.
Turkish That's how life crossed Plaza Cristina Jorge, a professional soldier for 22 years, Valladolid, stationed in Ceuta. "I called the fellow who had rescued. They knew I was struggling to adapt, I felt alone and had told everyone he wanted a dog. They sent me a photo for your mobile. It seemed tiny, but proved to be a big guy. And he was very skinny. I fell in love. I crossed the strait on the ferry, I went to see the vet of Algeciras where they left off and I took it home. "
` Turkish 'recovered from his wounds thanks to the pampering of Cristina. And he brought back the joy, because the nobility never lost. "It's the most playful dog in the world. Tireless. What she likes most is running on the beach. We can throw a stick hundred times, a hundred times will go for it and will bring it. "They lived happily together eight months. Gained weight, but still did not bark. One morning, a downpour fell: 160 liters per square meter. And Cristina rental house, a floor was flooded so it was uninhabitable. "Oozed so much moisture that I had to return to barracks. As there could not have it, took it home to my mother in Castronuevo of Esgueva, a town of Valladolid. "There, he met Turkish snow. But fate had reserved a new surprise. The dog rescued from death by soldiers of good heart would have an opportunity to demonstrate their generosity and return the favor. By far.
The nephew of a neighbor, firefighter rescue specialist group of the Junta de Castilla y León, saw him run around the village and immediately sensed that this pooch happy, vivid, sniffed it all with the curiosity of a detective, not sidetrack ever had the makings of a hero. Cristina asked permission to make a test. "They had a` Dopy ', a golden retriever, but always looking for new dogs. It is not easy to find candidates who pass the tests. I told them I agree. Mine cost me, because I love him very much, but I convinced my mother. "His argument was unanswerable and be prophetic:" Imagine, Cristina, that one day 'Turkish' save a life. " Cristina
firefighters put them three conditions before you donate to them to 'Turkish': it does not change the name, that let him see it every time he went to Valladolid and, if the dog does not pass, it back. And he warned, moreover, the major drawback: no barking. How do they manage to alert them if there was a survivor from the rubble? Fifteen days after the phone call. "Your dog and bark and made a machine. When we run, is coming with us. And then you have to run to the next round. Never enough. "Thus began the grueling training a dog rescuer in buildings and collapsed structures.
Eugene, his handler at the fire station of Tordesillas, Turco `taught 'the art. Moving in the thousand traps of a collapse, go into the dark recesses unlikely, since not enough to detect a scent and made to bark, a good rescue dog try to go deeper and find a way to get as close as possible to the victim buried. There are dogs that will give the pledge of a person and they follow the track. Distinguish the generic smell of humans and are able to differentiate whether a person is alive or dead. And to discriminate between odors of those buried and those that are on the surface. It is a great responsibility, because when the dogs finish their work and the area is declared clean, starts mucking machines. Should empathize with human pairing to form an effective team. His prize: a touch, a sweet, chew a stick.
Completed his training, became the litmus test. 'Turkish' and `Dopy 'flew to Haiti a team of seven firefighters in the parks of Valladolid, Tordesillas and Palencia, Francisco Rivas as expedition leader. And they showed their worth. Nine working days were as intense as atrocious, working 16 hours a day in unimaginable conditions, including aftershocks and looting or mere survival. Participated in 18 rescues. When there are 150,000 dead in the field, talk about happy endings 18 is like clinging to straws. Even dogs become depressed at the enormity of the tragedy. But every life counts. For this reason, Francisco Rivas can not ever forget the teenager who had to leave a building when a half hour just to dig because the escorts from the UN, fearful of being involved in a firefight nearby, ordered them to leave the save and exit thence by legs.
But nobody will ever forget the child rescue Redjeson Hausted Claude, two years. A miracle that turned the world. The boy was in the rubble of the family home, hugged his grandfather died. When Oscar Vega firefighter pulled him in her arms, the family surrounded him and began to dance around amid shouts of joy. "When I saw him on television, I began to mourn and could not stop. That's my 'Turkish'! Is the greatest thing that ever happened in life, "recalls Cristina. Turco is now back in Spain, chewing sticks, his hobby, playing with `Dopy ', his fellow-sufferer. And daily training to keep saving lives as if nothing ... "
