On Monday morning, Prince William Professional Firefighter crews were called to the site of the home explosion in the 5900 block of Colby Hunt Court, when there was a report of a dog barking from inside the remnants of the residence.
The rescue came six days after the home exploded at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15 when a contractor working in the area and accidentally struck a gas line, completely destroying the home, which housed two families and multiple pets.
Some cats are still reportedly missing.
"(Crews) worked diligently to free the pup from the collapsed home, reuniting her with her family," officials said. "After an incredible story of survival, the dog is expected to make a full recovery from the incident."
