Dog found alive in rubble six days after deadly Norway landslide

A dog has been found alive in the rubble of a deadly landslide in Norway, boosting hopes among rescuers who are still searching for missing people. The landslide, which carried away homes in the Norwegian village of Ask, took place on 30 December. Seven people have died, and three others remain missing. The dog was found by rescuers late Monday and was "in good condition", police spokesperson Ivar Myrboe said. Rescuer Goeran Syversen said: "It is a joy for us and gives motivation to further work hard." Search efforts continue in the village, 16 miles northeast of Oslo, with dogs going beneath the rubble in below-freezing temperatures to try to find those still missing. Helicopters and drones with heat-detecting technology are also being used. It is thought to be the worst landslide in modern Norwegian history - destroying around nine buildings containing more than 30 apartments. At least 1,000 people were evacuated from their homes.

So what are you waiting for! know what vaccine is next and schedule your appoinments

Like people,  pets  need vaccines. And pet vaccinations, like those for humans, may sometimes require a booster to keep them effective. The best way to stay on schedule with vaccinations for your  dog  or  cat  is to follow the recommendations of a veterinarian you trust. Chances are your vet's suggestions will break down into two categories: core pet vaccines and non-core vaccines. Core pet vaccinations are those recommended for every pet, while non-core vaccines may be advised based on your pet's lifestyle. For example, your vet may suggest certain non-core vaccinations if your  cat  or dog is outdoors only or boarded often. Many vaccines can be given to  pets  as young as 6 weeks old, so talk to your vet about setting up the best vaccination schedule for your  cat  or dog, kitten or puppy. Vaccination Schedule for Dogs: Core and Non-core Vaccines Dog Vaccine Initial Puppy Vaccination (at or under 16 weeks) Initial Adult Dog ...
