Dog Survives 8 Days Under Rubble

Good Times Adventures employee Brian Mislansky and his dog Lulu were the only ones inside the business’ building in Breckenridge, Colorado when an explosion caused it to collapse. Mislansky was rescued four hours later and was hospitalized. He is expected to recover from his injuries. Lulu was found eight days later! Building owner Brian Holt heard a whimper as he was looking through the rubble. He called out Lulu’s name and heard her yelping.

It took Lulu’s rescuers nearly an hour to dig down to her. The dog was huddled 15 feet down, in a crawl space.

“She basically had a two-story building on top of her,” Holt told the newspaper.

Lulu was checked by a veterinarian who said she was remarkably well, suffering only mild dehydration and some trauma to her left eye.

The springer spaniel was later taken to visit Mislansky in the hospital. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. Link -via Two Kitties and a Puppy
