3 Puppies pulled alive from avalanche hotel

[Catherine]

The puppies were lucky to be in a space that protected them. They may have been able to eat snow, but it would have been cold and dark. I bet they were overjoyed when they were found. They certainly look healthy and happy.

At this late date they don't think they will find and more of the missing still alive. Still they will search because once in a while a miracle happens.  I believe they found a baby alive under the rubble 8 days after an earth quake.

An avalanche is such a powerful force of nature. It is swift and unstoppable. People wouldn't have had a chance. Someone I knew as a child was lost in an avalanche maybe 40 years ago. Our Prime Minister's younger brother was lost in an avalanche more than a decade ago.
The Italian avalanche was a very big one and it is worse because there was a hotel full of people in its path.  It is a very sad time for them.
