Jennifer has signed another of her incredible feats. This rescue dog from the Osaka firefighters has located an 80-year-old woman who remained under the rubble of her house, collapsed by the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that shook Japan on Monday, as confirmed to Efe this Friday by a spokesman for the Osaka firefighters. body.
The octogenarian survivor was trapped after the first of the two floors of her house in the city of Wajima, the city hardest hit by the earthquake along with Suzu, gave way to the tremor and the house collapsed.
A video shows how the firefighters hug the elderly woman when they find her, while pronouncing: "You did the best you could." Right after, they are surprised and shout: "Grandma is here!"
The body celebrates the rescue of the old woman almost as a miracle, because the probability of finding victims alive after an earthquake decreases after 72 hours of the earthquake. But the woman was the exception, because she "was conscious and able to respond to the calls" of the rescue teams, who took her to the hospital.
The Osaka firefighters have ninety troops deployed in Wajima and this Friday they will add 87 more to continue the rescue work in which dogs like Jennifer or Roger participate, helping to locate possible survivors.
It is a race against time to save victims of the earthquake, which has already left 92 dead and 242 missing, four days after the earthquake, at a time when supplies are already scarce.
So far, 55 deaths have been recorded in Wajima, while 23 died in Suzu; 5 in Nanao City; 5 in Anamizu; 2 in Noto; a person in Hakui; and another in Shiga.
