Dogs Lend a Nose in China Quake Aftermath

"Rifka", a search and rescue dog from the Dutch organization SIGNI, is lending her nose to find anyone who's alive in the aftermath of the devastating China quake. "Rifka" is also finding the dead thus giving closure to those who lost loved ones.

"Rifka" is not alone in this quest. SIGNI has come to China with four dogs to search. Again our pal the dog is helping us out. Granted, most of the bodies these elite dogs find are indeed deceased, but for those still alive in this chaos of rubble, it's a relief to have at least found the one they love.

Humans have had assistance from canines for centuries. The versatile canine greets us when we come home, smiles when their happy, growls when their angry, leads the blind, calms the anxious, barks to warn of danger and digs us out when we're covered in debris. With the nose that knows, thank you for being our best pal. Fetch the whole scoop here!
