Dog Survives 8 Days Trapped In Rubble

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) ― A dog has been found alive and in good shape after spending eight days trapped in the rubble of a Breckenridge business building that exploded.

Lulu, a Springer Spaniel, was rescued Sunday after the business owner heard her whimpering.

Lulu belongs to Brian Mislanski, who was critically injured in the April 19 explosion. Friends say he's been told the good news about his pet.

Veterinarian Christine Murphy says Lulu suffered mild dehydration and had some trauma to her left eye. Murphy says she probably survived by drinking melting snow and eating food she found in the debris.

The building housed Good Times Adventures, a snowmobiling and dogsledding business. Milanski is a van driver for the business.

The cause of the explosion is under investigation.
