While the sight of the puppies have lifted rescuers' spirits, firefighter spokesperson Luca Cari stressed these puppies were found in an isolated part of the hotel and the discovery isn't necessarily a positive sign for other rescues. 。
"We're happy to have saved them, and these are important moments in a dramatic situation," he said. "But I don't think there's much correlation with finding other people." 。The Associated Press 。
