Missing economist's dog found after 74 days

The dog of 83-year-old economist Korhan Berzeg has been located after disappearing along with her owner over two months ago in the western province of Balıkesir's Gönen district.

A citizen who spotted Berzeg's dog, Tina, whose whereabouts had remained a mystery despite search efforts spanning more than 70 days, promptly informed Armutlu neighborhood headman Hamit Erman.

Reports confirm that Tina is in good health, providing a glimmer of hope for the well-being of her owner. Berzeg's relatives have converged in Gönen in response to the development, awaiting a meeting with gendarmerie teams who are set to assess the situation and formulate a plan for future search endeavors.

Berzeg had vanished on June 17 during his customary morning walk. Under the guidance of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), comprehensive measures have been put in motion to locate Berzeg.

Collaborative efforts involving the gendarmerie's commando special public order command have been in thorough searches of water wells, stream beds and caves. Regrettably, these endeavors have yielded no sign of the renowned economist.
