"Jack," a fluffy mongrel of Alsatian and Labrador stock,
crawled out from a heap of wreckage after a
snow excavator exposed the cavity Thursday, one day after the
avalanche struck.
A soldier at the scene offered to take in the dog, who was in
good condition despite the experience.
A dog survived 24 hours
buried under an avalanche that killed seven
people,
including the dog's German owners, in the Tyrolean
village of Valzur, Austrian television reported
Friday.
