Search and rescue work has largely ended across Turkey’s disaster zone, but a dog's unexpected groan from under the piles of concrete blocks quickly remobilized efforts near Antakya on Tuesday.
Alex, a young-looking husky, was pulled out from under rubble late on Tuesday as rescuers around him cheered. Footage released on Wednesday by the Demiroren News Agency (DHA) showed the dog looking frail, tired and in shock after the 23-day ordeal.
