Dog Rescued from Earthquake Rubble in Turkey Captures Hearts Online
As rescue efforts continue in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria — which have claimed nearly 23,000 lives — powerful and emotional moments are emerging from the rubble. One such moment features a white dog named Pamuk, whose rescue is now touching hearts across social media.
In a 50-second video clip, rescuers can be seen gently offering water to the visibly injured dog, whose mouth is smeared with blood. Carefully, they work together to pull Pamuk out from beneath the concrete debris, showing immense compassion and care amid the chaos.
The heartwarming rescue took place in Turkey’s Hatay province — one of the regions hit hardest by the quakes. In the same area, another extraordinary rescue was reported: a 10-day-old baby was pulled alive from the rubble, along with the infant’s mother. Wrapped in a thermal blanket, the baby was quickly transported to a nearby field hospital for care.
These moments of hope serve as a powerful reminder of human resilience, compassion, and the tireless dedication of first responders working around the clock to save lives — both human and animal.
