A video captures the dramatic and heartwarming rescue of a dog, buried alive under rubble in Norcia after a 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit parts of Italy on October 31.
The dog was discovered after being trapped under rubble for nearly 24 hours. Rescue workers spotted it with the help of their own sniffer dogs, reports Independent.co.uk.
Footage from the rescue shows the team using their hands to clear the debris around the dog. At first, only part of the dog's face and one paw is visible. It takes rescue workers several moments to pull the canine out. They can also be seen giving the pooch water.
The dog is now recuperating at a local animal clinic. Amazingly, it had no fractures or major injuries.
According to The Guardian, this earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Italy since 1980. No casualties were reported, although several historical buildings and houses were brought down.
