All four

Golly, I wasn’t expecting that while cruising for Trump news – the four children lost in the Amazon have all been found alive.

[Colombian] President Gustavo Petro said finding the group was a “magical day”, adding: “They were alone, they themselves achieved an example of total survival which will remain in history.”

The children belong to the Huitoto indigenous group. Mr Petro shared a photograph of several members of the military and Indigenous community caring for the siblings, who had been missing for 40 days. One of the rescuers held a bottle up to the mouth of the smallest child, while another fed one of the other children from a mug with a spoon.

A dog on one of the search teams went missing…he was following a set of footprints…

    What a miracle.

    Is it dusty in here?

    So much credit goes to the oldest one. They built a shelter, foraged for food and kept the baby fed. Absolutely heroic.

    I wasn’t sure if you were saying that the dog located the children and then they were all found together or if the dog was tragically lost in the line of duty. I watched the video and was happy to hear it was the former.

    I saw in another report, after posting this, that one dog is missing and searchers are searching. Get found, Perro!
