Video: Woman finds her dog in rubble during CBS interview

Video is now surfacing in the aftermath of Oklahoma’s devastating mile-wide tornado. Barbara Garcia was interviewed by a CBS reporter as she was standing on top of the heap that was her house.

She thought she lost everything, but the reporter caught one of the most heartwarming post-disaster moments on camera as Barbara found her dog alive and unhurt.

“I never lost consciousness,” she said, “and I hollered for my little dog. And he didn’t answer or didn’t come so I know he’s in here somewhere.”

As the reporter spoke with Barbara, she spotted the Schnauzer trapped under the rubble.

“Aw, bless your little bitty heart,” said Barbara as she rushed to dig out her companion.

“I thought God just answered one prayer, to let me be okay. But he answered both of them. Because this was my second prayer,” she said.
