"Kilian the Sniffer Dog: A Lifeline in Morocco's Earthquake Aftermath"

Kilian, a golden retriever, is part of a Swedish rescue team in Morocco searching for survivors after an earthquake. Kilian has previously helped find 18 people alive under rubble in Turkey. The dog teams are trained to detect signs of life and Kilian will only bark if he senses someone alive. Despite their efforts, the body of a nine-year-old girl named Shaima is eventually found, bringing closure to her father and the community.

Colombia's president awarded medals to soldiers, Indigenous volunteers, and government officials who helped rescue four children who survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle for 40 days. The search involved Western technologies and traditional knowledge of Indigenous people. The children were found by four volunteers from the Muruy people and are still recovering at a military hospital in Bogota. A sniffer dog named Wilson, who helped find the children, is still missing.
