He has since been reunited with his human, 11-year-old Victoria Rengel, and her father. The twin earthquakes that struck at the end of June have taken the lives of more than 5,500 people. The poodle was found by rescuers curled up next to the body of Victoria’s mother “because he wanted to protect her,” Victoria told an interviewer. “I will remember how much he loved my mom.” 15/10 for all (credit @victoriaybeily)
