“In 1992 I came to Argentina and dedicated myself to what I like most, continuing to train dogs for rescue work. One of my greatest satisfactions is preparing a dog to save lives. There is no nose faster than the dog's nose to find what we want in the shortest time possible.”
Juan Carlos Lombardi, president of ACECC.
My name is Nahuel Fraga. I am 23 years old and I live in Lanús, Province of Buenos Aires.
I am a fire protection technician and I work in the Fire Department of the City of Buenos Aires. I have been part of ACECC since I was 13 years old where I trained and trained to train dogs for search and rescue.
I had the pleasure of training my first dog Lupo, a 12-year-old Belgian Malinois. Currently Lupo enjoys family life in my house because he is retired from the activity. With him I participated in several operations including the last earthquake in Mexico City, Federal District.
Today with Milka, a 3-year-old Border Collie in training. Both trained in the specialty to search for living people in collapsed structures and large areas.
In addition, I have been an official volunteer firefighter from Lanús for 7 years, since I started at a very young age due to having a long family firefighting career that has its roots in my great-grandfather. Within the barracks I perform duties in the training department in the area of the Basic Entry Course (CBI) and in the Clothing Department. He was also part of the K9 brigade
