15. The dogs thought they were doing a bad job.
Finding survivors was dangerous and thankless work. The rescue crews suffered limitations, like dangerous and smoldering debris, and tight access. To aid in their efforts, some employed dogs to help. After the collapse, they pulled only 23 people from the debris, 15 of them rescue workers who'd compromised their own safety. Rescuers removed the last survivor 27 hours after the collapse.
Rescue dogs were finding so few living survivors, they would become noticeably depressed, thinking they weren't doing a good job. Handlers would hide in the rubble to allow the dogs to "find" them, boosting their spirit and morale.

Some of these captions hit harder than others.
Positive reinforcement plays a significant role in how behaviors are learned and maintained.
