Appreciation for Search and Rescue Dogs in Turkey
Catalin Novak, the President of Hungary, is seen petting a search and rescue dog in the presence of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, on the sidelines of a press conference at the Presidential Palace in Ankara on April 29, 2023.
In the recent devastating earthquake in Turkey, search and rescue dogs deployed from various countries around the world saved the lives of hundreds of people. Last month, the Ministry of Defense of Mexico announced that at least one search and rescue dog sent from their country to Turkey was killed while rescuing earthquake survivors.
The recent earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria was one of the most severe natural disasters in the region, measuring 7.7 in magnitude.
