Multiple reports describe a widely shared video showing firefighters rescuing a dog alive from earthquake rubble in Venezuela. The clip depicts rescuers working amid collapsed debris after two earthquakes damage the country. According to the accounts, firefighters locate the trapped animal and use careful handling to extract it from a narrow gap in the wreckage.
In the video as summarized by outlets, firefighters are also seen taking steps to keep the dog safe while they work—briefly providing water by lowering a bottle through a small opening to hydrate the frightened dog. The dog is then pulled to safety and appears to be conscious during the rescue.
Both sources frame the footage as heartwarming and emphasize the rescue taking place in the immediate aftermath of the earthquakes. They do not provide additional details in their summaries about the dog’s location within the rubble, the dog’s condition after the rescue, or the specific time and city where the incident occurs.
