Can't believe Rip is not on this list. As the first S&R dog during the London Blitz, he had a hundred notches on his collar in six months. And all self trained. Look up Dickin Medal.

They should make sure they are taken to a veterinarian or animal rescue center, if it's on TV or not, they need to be responsible as well. People and animals in Japan need help.

Sadly, according to Global Animal, the rescue, whereabouts or condition of these two dogs has never been verified. :-(

Tsunami-surviving dogs

Dogs aren't only man's best friend, they also help one another. After an earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan in March, residents scrambled for shelter. The media was stunned by the dog who stayed by the side of an injured dog. The guard dog growled and barked at approaching humans, no doubt concerned for his canine companion's welfare.
 
Eventually, rescuers were able to calm down the dog — enough to bring both dogs to safety.
