Dogs are picking up scents
as the search continues for survivors at the Hotel Rigopiano,
but the amount of snow and rubble at the scene is making it
difficult to follow up, Matteo Gasparini, the head of Valdossola
Alpine rescue that is helping with the effort, said on Friday.
"We have been working in difficult conditions to search for
survivors in the area of the Hotel Rigopiano since yesterday
evening," said Gasparini.
"The dogs frequently pick up smells, but we have to dig for
over four or five metres to get to the ground".
