A dog has been saved after 90 hours trapped in the rubble of a building destroyed in the Turkey earthquake.
Angel was pulled from the debris in Hatay, Turkey, by rescuers who had to dig around the trapped pooch.
Footage of the rescue shows the white dog's head poking out from the rubble as rescuers try to get it free.
One rescue worker tries to give the miracle dog, called Pamuk, water by pouring it into his glove so the dog can lap it up.
As the group moves the wreckage and the dog's front legs are freed the animal can be heard letting out a small yelp.
Rescuers scrape rock and dust away with their hands, bending metal rebar away from the petrified dog.
The dog whines as the rescue continued, with some of those helping trying to calm the dog down by stroking it.
Once the pooch is freed, a high-vis clad man tenderly picks it up and carries it to safety.
One animal lover commented on the video, saying: "Poor little baby, glad he was found."
Another wrote: "Heartbreaking to watch this. Hope he was ok with no broken bones."
