Family dog pulled alive from collapsed building 22 days after after Turkish earthquake

A family dog has been pulled alive from the rubble of a collapsed building 22 days after deadly earthquakes struck Turkey.

Aleks, a Siberian Husky, alerted his owners to his miracle survival by barking when they returned to the building they had once called home, and they begged rescuers to help them find their pet.

It is unclear how Aleks managed to survive for more than three weeks but it is known that he had been trapped under debris of a two-storey building that had collapsed partially on top of a huge haystack.
