The military dog that helped Colombian forces find four children who went missing when their plane crashed in the jungle, disappeared during the search, but authorities vow to find him.
Operación Esperanza, in Spanish. Even“What has not been found is the dog, who at one point was with [the children],” Petro said in a news conference. “At one point, they found a dog, they defended on their own … It’s their knowledge of living in the jungle that has saved them.”
“The children said the dog had been with them for a while, but then he left,” Rodríguez said. “So, he arrived, found the children and then left to find his handler. That’s how he got lost.”It’s been two weeks since Wilson disappeared. The search team has let loose two females in heat hoping to attract the neutered canine, Andrés Chaparro, a spokesperson with the Colombian army, told The Post in a text message.
Fontecha, who has trained dogs for the Colombian army for 28 years, raised Wilson since the dog was a puppy. It was obvious early in his training that Wilson loved to hunt. On several occasions, the eager dog broke his own leash in pursuit of the toys he was trained to find.
