This is the fourth award and retirement ceremony carried out by the institution, and today it retires out 51 dogs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n All were part of the Canine Support Group which is made up of 44 public servants and 90 dogs at the national level and trained in different specialties, providing their services in different Sectional Offices of the country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These four-legged friends were entrusted with important tasks such as the security of the Attorney General, of the institution and of its 25 thousand members. Due to their training, they also detect human remains allowing many victims to find their loved ones and compensate part of the damage caused by illegal groups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey have been partners in the fight against crime in this country, they have been partners in the fight against crime in different national territories and they have allowed the dismantling of criminal groups, but they have done that not only next to our officials, it has become a symbiosis of work and a signature of the Office of the Attorney General, the group of dogs\u201d, emphasized the Attorney General, Francisco Barbosa, during the retirement ceremony.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Next to these valuable four-legged beings are their guides; men who have created almost family ties with them. They are an educated and trained couple at the Canine Training Center (<\/span>Centro de Adiestramiento Canino)<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>in Caqueza (Cundinamarca).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In this regard, the Attorney General stated that this center will be strengthened with the aim of training canine teams (guide and dog) in different specialties, in addition to carrying out regular training.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Those little animals that arrive, those trained guides, those guides who are going to go over all territories of Colombia continue producing results to the country,” concluded the Attorney General.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Leaving a legacy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Behind each canine that retires today, there are countless stories. One of these stories is the one of Teo, the 9-year-old Golden Retriever who was at the service of the Anti-Explosive Group of the Sectional Office in Nari\u00f1o. For seven years he participated in\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>several proceedings with his team Willington Alex\u00e1nder Montenegro Mart\u00ednez and Yair Alfonso Montenegro Galindres, the CTI investigators of that expert group who, together with Duglas Dimitry Guerrero Medina, were ambushed and killed on the road Tumaco- Pasto on July 11, 2018.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since that day, the anti-explosives area almost disappeared in Nari\u00f1o. In spite of their absence, Teo continued with his mission and together with his guide Carlos Fernando Caicedo, arrested those allegedly responsible for the death of the investigators.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, there is the story of Sasha, who was the key piece in an investigation of the Exhumations Group. Due to the training in anti-explosives, it was possible to\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>enter into an area and recover the corpses of the two Ecuadorian citizens who were murdered in Barbacoas (Nari\u00f1o) by the residual group \u00d3liver Sinisterra under the leadership of alias Guacho.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gelma group\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n This administration has prioritized, through its Strategic Direction, the animal protection.
