Bruno, the chihuahua, was found on Mar. 16, 2015, in the rubble of the Kensington house that collapsed two days prior.
A little Chihuahua named Bruno, who was presumed dead after his owner's Kensington home collapsed Saturday, emerged from the rubble on Monday, NBC10 reports.
The three-story brick home along the 2000 block of E. Sterner St. collapsed in the rain just before 5 a.m. Saturday morning.
Bruno had been staying with homeowner Eric Carroll, 43, who broke his back in the collapse and is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday.
Two pets -- a dog named Paws and a gray cat -- were found among the debris. Both were rescued by Red Paw Emergency Relief Team. The team also searched for Bruno, but after two hours, the volunteers assumed he had been claimed by the collapse.
"The father of the dog’s owner went to the house and called for Bruno and he crawled out from under the rubble," Red Paw founder Jen Leary told NBC10.
Bruno was taken to the University of Pennsylvania's Veterinary Hospital to be evaluated. He was dehydrated but was found to have suffered no major injuries.
