The men of the village pause, lean on their shovels, sweating — and pray for the sweet sound of a dog's bark.
A hush falls over a crowd of survivors encircling a two-story mound of red clay bricks and debris — all that's left of their homes — as sniffer dogs scamper around, wearing special booties to protect their paws.
They're searching for this town's last missing person: a 9-year-old girl named Shaima. Her father, Mohammed Abarada, has been digging for days with his bare hands.
"He's in shock," says the man's sister-in-law, Latifa Abarada. "He lost his first wife a few years ago, and his second wife in the quake."
