This dachshund puppy has had a rough month!
A month after surviving a massive fire a puppy was found alive inside among the ashes of the burnt and boarded up house.
The year-old long-haired dachshund’s owner (Terisa Acevedo)initially thought that her pup escaped the blaze and was wandering through the neighborhood.
In the days after the fire, the 24-year-old EMT and student posted fliers on telephone poles and walked the neighborhood hoping to find her dog. But as the days turned into weeks, Terisa began to think that Lola perished in the fire.
On Monday Acevedo returned to the house and she heard a scratching noise at the boarded-up front door. She immediately knew it was Lola.
Acevedo yelled out her pet’s name and with the help of friends, tore the plywood off the entrance. Lola, apparently out of fear, retreated into the blackened interior of the house. But when Acevedo called out her name again, Lola ran into her arms.
“It was a miracle,” Acevedo said yesterday, hugging her dog at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Jamaica Plain, where Lola is being nursed back to health.
