The five -year -old border Kohli Jen, who is felt by a smell, returns to a skull surrounding the snow. Their quick movements indicate your exercise Someone buried in depth.
Jen has been working as a rescue dog for three years. The day of preparation of the report advises more than 20 dogs Receive the recovery certificate in the avalanchers In The heart of Italian dolomidesInteresting steep summits are amazing to the fans of writers, painters and outdoor activities.
The role of dogs in Italian alpine rescues has increased as the number of people suffering from avalanches is increasing: 50% higher in the last 25 years. Climatic change Has often caused a large and humid ice In average sizes from 1,500 to 2,500 metersMost trekkers are daring. It reduces survival in the event of avalanche and compresses the airbags, which allows the alpine to breathe or -can -kiru.
Dogs can smell those who escaped from corpses and avalanches
The smell of a dog who is trained to recover in the avalanche can be found more accurately buried in the snow than any electronic device. It requires its role to reach the victims, “In a very short time,” says Adriano Pavre Cordina de AmbesoAn elegant ski season and Headquarters of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
After capturing the smell, Zen is actively manifested with the identity of life – a toy rope – Snow Lire, is artificially prepared to simulate an avalanche. After a while, his coach takes the volunteer victim from the snow and the collar Jen Qualified luxurious.
“All our dogs have to have a serious relationship with their training. Otherwise, we cannot understand what it means,” says Jen -training Pavlo Sibisa He raised him from the puppy. “Once the relationship is established, they will do anything to be happy.”
Nine days ago, in a port near a straight line, Jenin’s work was very serious. Three trips were buried by an avalanche Giau’s passageAbout 2,300 meters. It is usually a pathway that is a trail that is formed between the steep rock walls near a mountain road. It is deadly after strong snowfall.
Zen and his caregiver were traveling in the first helicopter that left a site located 10 minutes away. When they arrived, the witnesses already expelled the 51 -year -old man from the snow. Recovers the second victim with a transpandar, a 38 -year -old man Buried under a depth of two meters.
Jenin’s scent is important to find the third skir, a 40 -year -old woman buried with three or four meters of snow (with more depth of more than usual, according to SBISA, which creates him The stock of a dog Recovery is necessary to determine where to dig. Despite her efforts, she and the second victim were dead, revealing the inspiring fact: If you need a dog to find you, it’s too late.
For this reason, it is necessary to have SBISA and other rescuers, haigers and how to use transponders, folding studies and tinctures, because the best opportunity to survive is to survive This is the recovery of colleagues Or witnesses. Dogs, most of the time, find the corpses. SBISA says, “If there is something wrong, the only weapon of alpine recovers is to search.” “We have no other chance.”
The avalanche in Italy has increased by 50% in 25 years
Italian avalanche They double from the beginning of the century and move from the annual average 30 to 60According to the Snow Tracking Service and Avoiding Service. During the same period, the average number of injured walking increased significantly, according to average, from 65 to 110 per year.
For the buried, their survival is a matter of time. The best chance when the person is Released in the first 10 to 15 minutesSays Igor Chiambratti, President of the Italian Snow and the Avoidance Association. If it is not in 35 minutes, studies show it 70% of victims die.
A recovery dog who invented Roberto Ferino, when he was buried under an avalanche in the northwest of Beetmond, Dryer Skyr was buried 4 hours 40 minutesMore than the average survival time.
Today, seven years after his crash, Ferino or his wife did not know how he survived, although an air bag was formed around him, allowed him to breathe. Her body temperature is lower than 26 degrees Celsius Its heartbeat is in 30 pulse per minute.
Nevertheless, despite the warnings of the “substantial” risk of the avalanche, Ferino has not regretted the challenge of the mountains on that day. He says he chooses a pronounced slope of his mistake and not focus on the air. “If I had followed the normal way, nothing would have happened,” he says.

Put one dog dogs At the snowball stations This will only reduce the arrival time to only five minutes, which says that Chiambretti is being studied in Italy, where 80 active dogs.
Climate change increases the risk of avalanche
For this logistics problem, ice accumulation, heavy and 3% to 8% are added to the water content. Before the spring snow is considered, but now in December it is already thanks to the largest humidity of the wind Thermal temperatureExposed chiambretti.
They are especially common in very busy average heights and reduce the possibilities of survival when shrinking air bags. With this type of snowfall, The number of people who escape from the avalanche is less and lessSays Siambretti.

Italian Alps,” a warm point inside a warm point. “
Climate Emergency refers to it Glaciers are reduced worldwideOvarian Especially in the Alps. The size of the snow in the southwest of the Alps has declined by about 5% from the 80s, according to a 2024 study.
The 2021 study has published in ‘borders and physiological’ that “the consequences of the humble and hot ice are very serious.” “Breathlessness and trauma, as the causes of the death of the avalanche. Increase.”
