BOGOTA: A rescue dog named Wilson who helped search for four brothers who were missing for 40 days in the Amazon Forest, Colombia, has still not been found.
Dozens of soldiers are now scouring the jungle to find Wilson, who went missing on duty two weeks ago, and have vowed to "never leave their comrades".
With a happy ending for Lesly, 13; Soleiny, 9; Tien Noriel, 5; and Colombian Cristin, 1, are now turning their attention to bringing Wilson home safely.
"The search is not over," stressed the military in a statement issued after the child was found last Friday, adding that more than 70 soldiers were deployed in the forest to search for the six-year-old Belgian Shepherd dog.
They include Cristian David Lara, Wilson's controller.
Lara told El Espectador newspaper that she would not move until she found Wilson.
"We will find Wilson, we will bring him back," said General Pedro Sanchez, who previously led the search for the child.
Wilson played a major role in the discovery of the four siblings after finding Cristin's milk bottle discarded about four kilometers from the wreckage, a few days after the small plane crash on May 1 that claimed the lives of three adults, including the mother of the four children.
Wilson and several other tracking dogs also found signs that convinced rescuers that the four brothers were still alive, such as uneaten fruit, discarded diapers, makeshift shelters and footprints.
