Woman Finds Missing Dog in Oklahoma Tornado Rubble

Barbara Garcia, a survivor of the massive tornado that tore through Moore, Okla., found her dog alive under the rubble during an interview with CBS News.

Before finding the dog, Garcia says in the interview that she was holding him while sitting on a stool in her small bathroom. The tornado tore through her neighborhood, destroying her home. She never lost consciousness, but was covered in the rubble.

"I hollered for my little dog and he didn't come, so I know he's in there," says Garcia in the interview.

Then, the incredible happens. Nearly seconds later, the dog is found just a couple of feet away attempting to escape the rubble. Watch this heartfelt reunion in the video shown above.

Update: A Fundly campaign has been started to help Garcia rebuild her home, and take care of the dog.
