Now30 August 2026 at 16:05

The floods in Nepal triggered rescue operations involving teams with dogs. These operations are taking place under extremely difficult conditions, with muddy terrain that complicates the work of the rescue teams.

Gonçalo Santos, whose role is not specified in the article but who appears to be involved in these operations, stated that this scenario represents one of the worst possible contexts for working with rescue dogs.

According to the same source, progress through muddy terrain causes significant physical and psychological strain on the animals. The effort also affects the guides who accompany the dogs during rescue missions.
