The International Search and Rescue Dog Day is observed every year on the last Sunday in April. To mark the occasion, Kaohsiung mayor Chen Chi-mai visited his city’s rescue dog training center Sunday. Kaohsiung happens to be the first city in the country to form a team of search and rescue dogs.

In the aftermath of the Hualien earthquake, many people have been deeply touched by the sight of these four-legged rescuers searching in the rubble. At the training center, Mayor Chen brought gifts to the hard-working canines. Pet shop operators also provided the animals with spa treatments and health checkups, so as to reward them for their hard work.
