The earthquake in Turkey and Syria last month wreaked havoc on the two countries with the death toll crossing 50,000, making it one of the deadliest disasters in recent times. Amidst such devastation, there have been many videos of people and animals being rescued from the rubble after many days.
Now, a video has surfaced online showing a dog and her three newborn puppies being rescued one month after the earthquake. They had been trapped in a basement of a collapsed building in Turkey. A video posted by ABC News on Instagram shows an animal rescue team breaking down a door. After they break open the door, the team sees a Doberman named Sila and her three newborn puppies that were in a basket. Miraculously, the dog and the puppies survived and appeared to be doing fine.
“Last month’s catastrophic earthquake trapped doberman Sila in the basement of a collapsed building in Turkey. When an animal rescue team was finally able to reach her one month later, she emerged from the rubble—with three newborn pups in tow,” says the caption of the video.

“God bless the people who rescued them,” commented a user. “Good job, Mama. I am amazed by the resilience of these rescue workers,” posted another. “They should be adopted together! Wow that dog mom took care of her pups until the end! What a miracle!” posted a third.
Recently, another video of a Husky dog being rescued 23 days after the earthquake surfaced online. The dog that survived without food, water or sunlight was pulled out to safety, the BBC reported.
