It’s a story with a happy ending. A dog, trapped under the rubble of a house after a tornado that caused widespread damage on Saturday in the town of Laguna Heights, Texas, was rescued by a TV crew ABC Newsreports the American media.
Dog cries under a house
Sunday morning, the ABC team was preparing its equipment to shoot in a neighborhood that had been badly affected by the tornado, which caused the death of one person and injured several people. It was then that two members of security heard an animal screaming, under a damaged house.
They then called a service dedicated to the protection and control of animals, but ultimately did not wait for his arrival to save the animal. The TV channel’s sound technician, Jim Gower, took a shovel from nearby and began digging, reports ABC.
The dog, released, was frightened. He poked his head out from under the rubble but was reluctant to come out all the way, according to the account of those present. Jim Gower tried to calm him down by stroking him, before someone handed him a stick of meat. A successful manoeuvre: the dog finally got out of the rubble thanks to this treat.
The tornado did a lot of damage. It destroyed many houses and shattered wooden electric poles. One person died when a trailer flew away and landed on their home, according to ABC News.
