Our hearts continue to go out to the many people affected by the catastrophic Hurricane Milton this week, which has caused widespread damage, left millions without power and claimed at least 16 lives.
A Florida couple were among the casualties — but, in a miracle caught on camera, their little dog survived and was pulled from the rubble.
Spanish Lakes Country Club Village, a retirement community near Fort Pierce, Florida, was hit by Hurricane Milton and a resident couple reportedly died when their mobile home was destroyed, according to CBS News.
CBS News Miami reporter Morgan Rynor headed to the scene for a segment on Thursday, and standing amidst this retirement home reduced to rubble, she was no doubt expecting to deliver a sobering report on the storm’s devastation.
But as the cameras began rolling, the segment took an uplifting turn as someone pulled an unexpected survivor for the rubble: a little Shih Tzu dog.
