Jacob is the name of a dog that was moved by its desperation when trying to dig into a gigantic landslide who on Sunday night devastated a neighborhood in the city of Alausí, in the center of the Ecuadorian Andes, with the instinct of finding his family buried by the landslide.
The farmer was saved from being swallowed by the landslide, but part of his human family didn’t make it, that’s why he doesn’t leave the place.

More than playful, attentive and shrewd. Now he “smells his little house and starts digging, that’s why the rescuers dug in the place, but they could not find anything, because apparently machinery is needed to evacuate the amount of land” that fell on the houses of the neighborhood, Lalón told EFE.
Jacob “walks around, gets a little distracted but comes back… He is looking for his homer”, like many other people crying out for more help to try to rescue the victims. “They could be alive,” said Vicky hopefully.

Thus, Lalón said he believed that some people did evacuate on time and that many other families in the neighborhood collected belongings to leave the area “out of fear, but not because the authorities have warned.”
Of her boyfriend’s family “five left” with the landslide, “only two were saved”, one of them her boyfriend who went with her to get clothes to evacuate the place. “Families, trucks, vans, homes left” and that is why machinery is required to try to save as many as possiblehe repeated hopefully.
