A husky has been found alive under rubble 23 days after an earthquake struck Turkey.

The dog was discovered by a rescue team in Hatay on 28 February after surviving more than three weeks underneath a collapsed building.

Footage shows the pooch licking the face of one of the rescuers after the rescue.

The dog then received treatment at a local rescue centre where volunteers cared for him.

He was suffering from exhaustion and had lost weight but was in otherwise good health.
