Three Puppies Recovered From Rubble Five Days After Devastating Avalanche

During times of stress, animals always seem to have the uncanny ability to help us pull

through. Have you ever had your stress melt away the very second you plant your face in your cat’s belly? Yeah, us too. And nothing can compare to dog kisses when you’re sad. In fact, studies have shown that our dogs are actually in tune with our emotions and can sense when we’re feeling down. But sometimes, all we need is the presence of an animal to reduce our stress.

Just five days ago, Hotel Rigopiano, located in central Italy, was struck by a massive 60,000 ton avalanche. Snow, rock, and uprooted trees, covering the hotel completely. Rescue crews got to work immediately, digging through the snow and rubble in search of survivors. With a total of 40 people missing in the immediate aftermath, we can only imagine the stress and the sadness felt by each and every one of them as each minute ticked by, knowing that people were still missing.  Nobody could have expected what else they found…

Five days after Hotel Rigopiano in central Italy was struck with a devastating avalanche, rescue teams uncovered a litter of three puppies from the rubble.
