Minute30.com .- In the midst of the desolation that surrounds the town of Adamuz (Córdoba, Spain) after the tragic train accident last Sunday, a small light of hope shone in the last hours. Boro, the mixed-breed dog that became the face of the tireless search for an injured family, was rescued safe and sound after wandering for four days in the mountains near “ground zero.”

The pet, a mix of schnauzer and water dog, was located shortly before 10:00 am in the Sierrezuela Park, putting an end to an anguish that mobilized volunteers from all over Spain.

A rescue of “patience and smell”

The operation to recover Boro was not easy. The animal, skittish by nature and traumatized by the roar of the crash, had fled into the mountains on Wednesday after being spotted by a ranger.

To gain its trust, the Infoca rescuers used a piece of clothing belonging to its family so that the animal could recognize the aroma.

Rubén Flores, Infoca group leader, reported that upon arriving in the area at 9:00 am, they found Boro sitting still, as if he were waiting to be saved. “I was fine, scared, but healthy,” confirmed the rescuer.

Agents from the Civil Guard (Seprona), firefighters, the animal rights party PACMA and hundreds of volunteers who arrived from various provinces participated in the search.

“A balm for a broken family”

For the García Aranda family, Boro’s return is much more than the rescue of a pet. Raquel, the owner of the dog and who is pregnant, remains in critical condition in the ICU of the Reina Sofía Hospital in Córdoba. According to her sister Ana, it is believed that Raquel was seriously injured while trying to protect Boro with her body during the Iryo train derailment.

“Finding the dog was the only thing I could do for my sister. I needed her family to be complete when she woke up,” Ana confessed excitedly after melting into a hug with the animal.

Veterinary solidarity

After hearing the news, the College of Veterinarians of Malaga offered to provide all the specialized help and care that Boro needs for his physical and emotional recovery. The dog is now at home, resting, while his family continues to monitor the progress of the injured in the hospital.
