The dog was treated on site by emergency personnel as crews continued a final push to find survivors before the three-day mark—the period when trapped people are most likely to survive without water [219851]. Although that window has now passed, officials have not called off the search, and the dog’s recovery has boosted morale among exhausted rescue workers [219851]. No new survivor count was provided, but the operation remains ongoing [219851].
