The heroic act
Talking to ANI, dog handler Constable Kundan said, "We asked Julie to go inside the rubble. She went in and started barking, which was a sign that she had detected a survivor trapped underneath." "For reconfirmation, we have sent Romeo into the rubble and he also confirmed through barking that someone was, indeed, alive under the debris," another dog handler said.
