3 Puppies pulled alive from avalanche hotel

[Catherine]

I don't know if you have been following the news about the hotel in the Italian mountains. An earthquake on Jan 18 triggered an avalanche that buried a tourist site. They have been digging the hotel out ever since. Some people have been found alive, but sadly a number were found already dead.

Imagine the rescuers joy when they found three puppies in the hotel very much alive!

They were just fortunate to be in a place that created an air pocket. With all their thick fur they were able to stay warm.

The parents had already escaped and I can't imagine the reunion. The mother and babies will be so glad to see each other.

Sadly for some people there will be no reunion. I feel for the little boy rescued whose parents were not so lucky.
