Siberian Husky found alive under the rubble 23 days after earthquake hit Turkiye and Syria (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — A Siberian Husky has been rescued from under the rubble 23 days after the devastating earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria last month.

The pooch was pulled out from the piles of concrete and building debris near Antakya in the Hatay province of Turkiye, New York Post reported.

Rescuers were scouting an area to build a temporary shelter for quake survivors when they heard the dog’s faint cries.

They then crawled beneath the rubble to search for the canine and managed to locate it one-and-a-half hours later before reuniting him with the owner, who was also present at the scene.

Video of the rescue showed teams crawling underneath the remains of levelled buildings calling out the dog’s name before a person emerged with the husky, identified as Alex, in their arms.

The blue-eyed pup appeared shocked and weak in the footage.

He was later given food and water and transferred to Turkiye’s Federation of Animal Rights for medical treatment.

A volunteer with the animal rights organisation told Anadolu News Agency that except for losing a significant amount of weight, Alex was otherwise in good condition.

A second video of the pooch showed him happily panting as he got lots of head scratches and pets from the volunteers.

Hatay is one the provinces most devastated by the double earthquakes that rocked parts of southern Turkiye and northern Syria on February 6.

More than 50,000 people were killed across the two countries.
