WATCH | K9's sharp nose led to Gabriel Guambe's rescue after 5 days buried alive

In the bustle of heavy construction machinery at the George building collapse, a remarkable story unfolded: a dog's ears perked up, a shiver ran down a handler's spine, a faint voice, a knock, and the miracle rescue of a man trapped for 118 hours under rubble.
Sergeant Willie Visser and Abby, his loyal K9 partner, had embarked on a routine scan of an area marked suspicious the previous night by another dog.

The dogs are wonderful, how lucky are we to have animals helping us as humans 🥰🥰🥰

I see Asshat Cele is in on the action, getting as much publicity as he can before the elections, when he's done nothing to better the situation, except cast aspersions against the DA. Well done to all the rescue personnel working with or without the dogs - you are all heroes and deserve medals! This is what South Africa is really about, not corrupt politicians playing cheap tricks to get in on the act!

I wish ppl would value animals more. They are something special. I’ve seen stories of pigs, cats, cows, deer, whales, dolphins, elephants, gorillas, beavers, birds saving ppl and certainly dogs are our closest allies - there should be more respect and love shown to animals. Back when we had to hunt, there was more respect for the life of the animal that was taken. Now they come wrapped in plastic and you barely give a second thought to the life that was taken. A little appreciation and thought can shift our consciousness and make us a lot more caring about our environment and all the lives that dwell the Earth. I am not saying don’t eat meat - if you think that’s what you need for your health then do so but give a little back, show more appreciation and respect for the animal you are consuming.

How did he survive five days without water?

It's possible. How did he survive 5 days without losing his mind though?
