Search and rescue dogs, dubbed the "silent heroes," of the Turkish Armed Forces have been awarded for saving the lives of 78 people from the rubble following the deadly Kahramanmaraş-centered quakes that ripped through Türkiye's south last month.

A total of 29 dogs from the Turkish Armed Forces Humanitarian Aid Brigade were taken to the quake zone with their teams.

A walrus nicknamed Freya that attracted crowds while basking in the Oslo fjord was euthanized on Aug. 14, with Norway officials saying it was the only option but experts slamming an "infinitely sad" decision.

Officials started inserting chips into Kangals, world-renowned shepherd dogs, to monitor and protect the gene structure of the animals who are native to the Central Anatolian province of Sivas.

The chipping process is being held in a hub named "Kangal Training, Protection and Reproduction" recently opened at Meraküm Hill, a region 10 kilometers away from the city center.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tested positive for COVID-19, Downing Street has reported.
