After the 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Izmir, intermediate rescue teams rushing to the region work tirelessly day and night.
Specially trained K-9 dogs also assist debris rescue task forces. The work of dogs is not limited to saving people alive.
In the Aegean Sea, at 2:51 p.m. yesterday, 17 buildings were destroyed in the magnitude 6.6 earthquake, the epicenter of which was in the Seferihisar district of Izmir. Search and rescue activities continue in 9 destroyed buildings, and the hopeful waiting of the families of those under the rubble continues.
TEAMS ACT ON BOB’S SMELL
In the earthquake, the Yılmaz Erbek apartment in İzmir’s Bayraklı district collapsed. Search and rescue efforts that began yesterday in the rubble continue uninterrupted. The teams focused on the search and rescue efforts that were carried out in the rubble on the ground floor of the Yılmaz Erbek apartment, after the dog K-9 ‘Bob’ smelled from one point.
The name of the cat that Bob rescued was ‘hope’
The wrecked equipment found a cat with a collar under the cement. The cat was pulled out of the rubble by crews after 29 hours. The anxious cat was seen to be trembling. The teams named the cat ‘Umut’.
WHERE DOES THE NAME K-9 COME FROM?
The origin of the K-9 mold is based on the word “canine”, which means “canine” in English. Today, police dogs are used in a wide variety of tasks such as officer protection, assault, bomb detection, drug detection, food detection and missing persons detection and debris studies.
