Editor's Note:
Shen Long was a sniffer dog with Jiangsu Provincial Fire and Rescue Service. In 2008, it helped rescued 15 people in SW China’s Beichuan county following the Wenchuan earthquake. On May 12, Shen Long and its trainer Shen Peng, a retired firefighter, returned to the old county in remembrance of those who perished.
