The brave rescue dog that assisted discover 4 brother or sisters stranded in the Amazon has actually gone missing out on.
During the search celebration for the kids, Wilson broke off from the group and handled to reach them.
According to the kids’ family, he had fun with them till the rescue group situated them, and had actually become their ‘devoted friend’.
However, the dog vanished into the wilderness in the middle of the turmoil that occurred when the search celebration showed up.
The Belgian Shepherd had actually been with the kids for 4 days up till they were saved.
The Colombian Military have actually said that Operation Hope – the name offered to the preliminary search celebration – is not over yet.
“We are united to recover our canine commando Wilson from the jungle and bring him back,” a spokesperson said.
“The Operation Hope of the Military Forces of Colombia does not end until he is found.”
Whilst the search continues for Wilson continues, the kids he saved – Lesly, 13, Soleiny, nine, Tien Noriel, five, and one-year-old Cristin – continue their recovery in hospital.
The kids reportedly talked about their furry saviour when they were brought out of the wilderness.
Astrid Caceres, director of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, said that Lesly had told them ‘about a dog that they had lost, that they didn’t know where it went, that it had accompanied them for a while’.
The oldest sibling even drew a sketch using crayons showing the dog sat under the tree and near a river.
Next to it, she wrote his name Wilson.
And her younger sibling, Soleiny, also created a similar picture of a brown dog with black pointy ears.
Wilson’s handler, Christian David Lara, is still trekking for the jungle in search for his canine companion.
The dog was last seen on 8 June, when Carlos Villegas, a member of the Civil Defense, saw him from 40 metres away.
Villegas said: “My partner tried to play with him, to activate him, to call him to see if he came towards us to catch him, but the dog got scared and went out and got lost in the jungle again.”
It is believed that Wilson might have actually had actually an encounter with an unsafe predator which triggered a modification in his behaviour.
General Pedro Sánchez, who led Operation Hope, said in a declaration to press: “According to what the children told us, we can confirm that Wilson, our commando, was with them, quite emaciated and without much to eat out there in the jungle.
“But our faith remains intact and we are still looking for him.”
