September 3, 2016

A golden retriever named Romeo has been pulled alive from a pile of rubble in Italy 10 days after towns in the area were destroyed by a magnitude-6.2 earthquake.

Video released by the Italian fire department shows firefighters freeing the dog on Friday from the ruins of a building in Amatrice.

A man in the video can be heard yelling in Italian: "Romeo, come here! Best dog in the world!"

Despite his ordeal, Romeo ran around wagging his tail, stopping only to be pet and to let a firefighter inspect his paw. A local official told Reuters Romeo was in good health.
