lost hero

According to the Bogota newspaper ‘El Espectador’, One of the hypotheses that the Military Forces considered before finding the children was that the dog “I would find them, and I would guide them.”. The presumption is based on finding very close footprints of both the animal and the children. “I think Wilson was a savior. He flew from a soldier and I think he went there with his nose. It had a lot to do with finding them. “He accompanied them and was with them,” said Luis Acosta, National Coordinator of the Indigenous Guards.
