Puppy buried alive by hurricane rubble rescued

A pup caught in a building collapse when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas more than a month ago has been pulled alive from the rubble.

The mix-breed has been named Miracle by workers at Big Dog Ranch Rescue after he was found underneath broken glass and other debris.

The one-year-old was detected by a drone fitted with an infra-red device.

❤️We found our Miracle❤️ Rescue workers did not see him - nobody did. They couldn't hear the little dog either - starving, dehydrated, too weak to even whine. 😰 That's our Miracle... 💕 You can read more about our Miracle that our fabulous volunteers & Founder & President, Lauree Simmons, led by Sean Irion found this week with an infrared drone in our upcoming updates. https://bdrr.org/miracle-bdrr/ Thank you also to Christy Nielson for her video of the rescue. Miracle is being assessed this weekend by our wonderful medical team. He is going to need a lot of help for his recovery... 😞 Please keep an eye on this page to see more updates about this true Miracle who just barely survived the storm. More to come... . . #Miracle #SavingMiracle #HelpingtheBahamas #HelptheBahamas #Miraclesurvived #staytuned #BDRR #BigDogRanchRescue

It’s believed he survived by drinking rain water but he has suffered severe weight.

When rescuers finally reached him, he wagged his tail with joy.

❤️🐾BDRR's MIRACLE🐾❤️ Miracle & BDRR's President & Founder, @lauree.simmons, have had quite a Sunday. This sweet boy is not only famous, but a survivor. And so many people want to know him! That's why he has had so many interviews today! You can follow his progress of gaining strength by following our social media channels. Miracle is now enjoying a lazy Sunday full of love, water, & food! He's very weak and anemic from about 3 weeks of surviving off rain water. 🥺 He's definitely got a long road to recovery ahead. He will need physical therapy and a lot of help and strength so he can fully walk again. Our wonderful medical team is monitoring him and keeping him as comfortable as possible. We love you, Miracle!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Miracle #Miraclethedog #BDRRMiracle #MiracleBDRR #BDRR #BigDogRanchRescue #Survivor #OurMiracle #roadtorecovery #ilovedogs

It’s hoped Miracle, who was found near Marsh Harbour, will make a full recovery after his ordeal.

Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas on September 1, causing widespread devastation.
