Flash is a rescue dog who works with the “Chilean moles” amid the debris left by the explosion that affected Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on August 4.
The dog has been highlighted in various international media, after the nationals detected signs of life under the rubble of a building, being alerted precisely by Flash.
“A rescue dog and the hope of a miracle captivate Beirut,” the New York Times headlined for example, noting that “a Chilean search team and Flash, his dog, discovered what appeared to be a heartbeat under the debris from the 4 August explosion in the port. “
In addition, they noted that an artist named Ivan Debs created an illustration of the dog. “We have a lot to learn from him,” the illustrator wrote on Twitter.
