A rescue dog named Tsunami has been officially honored in Venezuela with a commemorative statue. The monument serves as a tribute to the animal's contributions during search-and-rescue operations following a series of earthquakes that struck the region in June.

While the report confirms the existence of the statue and the dog's role in the disaster response, it provides limited information regarding the specific location of the monument or the official organization responsible for its commissioning. The recognition of Tsunami highlights the broader role that trained animals play in emergency management and disaster recovery efforts in Venezuela. There are no conflicting reports regarding the event, as the story remains a singular account of the tribute. The lack of additional reporting from other major outlets leaves the specific scale of the earthquake damage and the dog's individual rescue statistics unverified by secondary sources.
