ISTANBUL, Feb 14 (The Straits Times/ANN/AFP): As search and rescue teams continue to seek out survivors among the rubble in the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkiye and Syria, rescue dogs from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand have emerged as key members of these operations.

These trained canines and their keen sense of smell are able to work in tandem with the human members of the rescue teams and access areas that humanitarian aid officers find difficult to reach.
