Recalling the recent Batang Kali landslide tragedy, which claimed 31 lives including many children, firefighter Thivagaran Yutaman said he had the longest search and rescue operation with his tracker dog Frankie, a six-year-old English Springer Spaniel.
“Amid all the challenges and hardships, I’m thankful that Frankie and I managed to find five victims. He noted that his furry partner – his second dog after the first one, Joe, died of old age – is considered young in the field. “He was also salivating more than usual. It is a sign of exhaustion, so I quickly led him out for some rest,” he said.“As a trained cadaver dog that has a high level of focus, it should not be made to work for more than 30 minutes at a time,” he said.
Having spent the last five years together, Salbuddin said he shares a close bond with Blake, who is a cheerful, active and spirited dog.Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Datuk Norazam Khamis said tracker dogs are important assets because they help to speed up any SAR mission.
