Five Days After A Deadly Avalanche Hit The Rigopiano Hotel, Three Puppies Were Miraculously Found Alive

When a deadly avalanche hit one of the mountains above the Rigopiano Hotel in the Abruzzo region of Italy, rescue crews were called out and worked tirelessly to try and recover any potential survivors from the rubble.

The feat seemed almost impossible, since the hotel was completely covered in a thick layer of snow. The team weren’t feeling at all optimistic about finding any survivors, but they tried all the same. When they finally did uncover something, they couldn’t believe their eyes…

Rigopiano Hotel

The Rigopiano Hotel is a luxury resort located in a remote area in the Gran Sasso mountain range. It is the ideal place for skiing, since it is surrounded by slopes that gather large quantities of snow during the winter.

However, having access to such amazing slopes for skiing comes with a price. The positioning of the Hotel means that it stands in constant danger of being hit by a snow slide. This is exactly what happened.
