Meet Romeo and Julie, the heroic canines that helped a 6-year-old girl victim in Turkey’s earthquake

After a series of large earthquakes struck Turkiye, a 6-year-old girl was miraculously rescued after being trapped under debris for three days. Her story grabbed headlines and brought some hope in the middle of a calamity. But without two Indian sniffer dogs, it would not have been feasible.

Romeo and Julie, members of the dog squad for the National Disaster Response Force, were crucial in finding 6-year-old Nasreen under tonnes of debris. The young girl might not have been saved if it hadn’t been for their assistance.
