Rescuers in Hatay, Turkey, successfully pulled a small dog from the rubble of a collapsed building after a deadly earthquake devastated the region earlier this month, and the whole rescue was caught on camera.
The video shows the dog, named Pambuk, taking sips of water while it waited patiently to be freed from the rubble by rescuers.
