Days after devastating earthquake , rescuers save small dog from rubble

HATAY, Turkey – A little dog was rescued from the ruins of a fallen building in Hatay, Turkey, after a terrible earthquake struck the region earlier this month, and the entire rescue was captured on camera.

The video, captured by Gurcan Ozturk on February 8th, shows the dog, named Pambuk, drinking water while calmly waiting to be rescued from the rubble.

According to an Instagram post, Pambuk’s owner was hospitalized in intensive care following the devastating earthquakes. Ozturk informed Storyful that the dog’s relatives had contacted him.

More than 46,000 people were killed by the earthquakes that slammed Turkey and Syria two weeks ago, according to sources. The majority of these recorded deaths have occurred in Turkey.

Turkey’s deadliest earthquake in recent history

About two weeks after a series of disastrous earthquakes, the death toll continues to increase in Turkey and Syria, making this the deadliest natural disaster in modern Turkish history.

At 4:17 a.m. local time on February 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the region (8:17 p.m. EST Feb. 5). According to the U.S. Geological Survey, this was followed almost immediately by a powerful aftershock of magnitude 6.8.

The region has been shaken by tens of thousands of aftershocks of varied magnitudes for weeks. Nine hours later, a violent aftershock with a magnitude of 7.5 occurred.

  4. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
