"Mans Best Friend"



            Japan is using rescue dogs such as: German Sheppard’s and boarder collies to find people who are alive. They only look for people who are alive. The dogs can actually smell the difference between an alive person and a deceased one. Granted they have found many dead bodies but the dogs have also rescued twelve people. They dogs can go into dangerous places with ease that humans cannot. It would take a human a lot more time to get through all the rubble to someone. Then it might be too late, that’s where the dogs come in. they practically glide over all of the wreckage to find people. These are rescue dogs and in the video clip one of them got hurt going to find someone. The wound was not horrible, but nonetheless these dogs get hurt trying to save their best friend “man”. I think this story is a ray of sunshine in this disastrous quake.
            Most of the dogs are from other countries like: England and America. I think this is a great way to save people. Sometimes we forget with all of the technology that doing it the “old way” is sometimes better. One of the rescuers said that usually they use sonar but because of all the wreckage it was virtually impossible. Dogs were the best way to go.
