Washington Dog Found After 9 Days Under Rubble - ABC News




A dog and his owner have been reunited after the animal was found under a pile of rubble more than a week after a tornado ripped through a central Illinois city.


Jacob Montgomery of Washington and his dog Dexter were separated when the Nov. 17 tornado damaged Montgomery's third floor apartment.


Montgomery is a member of the Illinois National Guard.


A guard spokesman says a neighbor sent Montgomery a Facebook message nine days later to tell him Dexter had been found under debris where the apartment used to be.


An animal rescuing organization had coaxed the 6-month-old puppy out of the rubble with hot dogs.


A veterinarian found Dexter to be malnourished, but without any major injuries.


Montgomery says as soon as the dog saw him "his tail started going."
