A tragedy occurred in Nepal, in a scenario described as extremely difficult for finding people alive. The situation requires complex rescue operations in the affected areas.

Gonçalo Santos, an expert in rescue canine technology, explained the differences between first-response dogs and cadaver dogs. The former are trained to locate living people, while the latter are used to find bodies. This distinction is fundamental in coordinating rescue operations in disasters.
