GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WSVN) – A dog trapped in debris after Hurricane Dorian struck the Bahamas is now safe thanks to members of the Gainesville Fire Rescue Department.

In a video posted to the department’s Facebook page on Thursday, the firefighters could be seen lifting rubble to locate the dog.

One member of the crew carefully went under a collapsed wall and was able to locate the hound.
