A dog walking through debris in the Noto Peninsula earthquake-stricken area. In fact, this is not a dog looking for its owner, but a "disaster rescue dog" that finds missing people.
On the night of the earthquake, we followed a "disaster rescue dog" that left for the disaster area from Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The Japan Rescue Association, headquartered in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a private rescue organization specializing in disaster rescue dogs, which started its activities after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Its operation is financed by fund-raising and other donations. Disaster rescue dogs are said to have a sense of smell that is one million to ten million times greater than that of humans, and they search for people buried under rubble at the site of earthquakes and landslide disasters.
Miyuki Takaki, a "handler" who trains and teaches disaster rescue dogs, returned home after completing rescue activities in the Noto Peninsula earthquake-stricken area with her German Shepherd "Riku" and Labrador Retriever "Taiyo. This is a record of those 11 days.
