While they were tending to the rubble of a fallen house, they heard the squeal of a puppy.
There, underneath the wreckage, the police uncovered a tiny black puppy, shivering and covered in dust.
Afterward, both he and the dog received proper medical attention, but are believed to be recovering well.

Ukrainian police rescue a puppy from a fallen house near Donetsk that was bombed by Russian forces.
Its 77-year-old owner survived the shelling but didn’t know where the pup had gone.
The police sprung into action, digging up the rubble to uncover the lost animal.

Both the puppy and the owner were tended to by medics and are doing well.
