Six-year-old tracker dog Wilson, who went missing during the ultimately successful, weeks-long search for four missing Indigenous children in the Colombian Amazon, is now the target of a rescue mission himself. Dozens of soldiers are scouring the jungle for the canine hero that disappeared on duty two weeks ago, with the military having vowed not to"abandon a fallen comrade" who may have found the children long before the rescue team arrived.
As relief settled in following a happy ending to the 40-day odyssey of Lesly [13], Soleiny, [9] Tien Noriel [5] and one-year-old Cristin, Colombians have been clamouring on social media for the safe return of Wilson as well.Colombians have also taken to placing posters in their windows to insist:"Missing Wilson," while others are posting photos of their cats and other pets carrying signs pleading for the dog's safe return.
"The search is not over," the army insisted in a statement issued after the children were located last Friday, adding that more than 70 soldiers remain deployed in the dense jungle to find the Belgian Shepherd.Lara, a colleague, told theAdded General Pedro Sanchez, who headed the search for the children:"We're going for Wilson, we’re going to bring him back."
