The video then shows the canine enthusiastically licking the face of her rescuer after being taken out of the collapsed structure as a crowd applauded.

"After 5 hours, we managed to rescue this little dog who responds to the name Giselle, in Residencial El Palmar, Caraballeda," Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele wrote in a social media post as he shared the video. "If anyone is her owner, they can approach our teams in the area and prove with photos or videos that she is theirs." The dog had been trapped under the rubble for five days. Rescuers have been finding small miracles amid the wreckage, including the rescue of an 18-day-old baby, who, along with his mother, was pulled from a collapsed high-rise after they were both trapped for 32 hours.
