Two other K9 dogs that were involved in the SAR mission, Frankie and Dante, were absent as they were on duty during the ceremony.
The four K9 dogs were also warmly welcomed by many officials, who took photos with them happily.
Several officials also took the opportunity to pet their heads and shower affection on them, causing the canines to wag their tails excitedly.
Lady, a white Labrador, also showed her mischievous side by jumping up and down constantly, much to the delight of those present.
