An earthquake is a devastating natural disaster that can cost people their belongings, their health and even their lives. The recent earthquake in Italy has shown that to be true on a large scale. Even through it all, however, the hope that is held out by rescuers is something that shines in the middle of the darkness.
Tragedy was something that Daniela Tursini saw when the earthquake struck her village of Armatrice, Italy. She was inside her home when the earthquake started and was barely able to make it out safely. Unfortunately, she had to leave her cat, Gioia behind.
As the days begin to pass, most people would lose hope on ever finding the cat again but she continued to hold out until a definitive answer was given. That is when a miracle happened.
Almost 6 days after the earthquake struck, rescue workers discovered her cat in the rubble and she was still alive! She may have lost her home and possessions but her cat will be by her side as she rebuilds.
You can see the story below.
The 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Italy with tragic results. There were many stories of sadness, but this is a story of hope.
Daniela Tursini had to flee her home when the earthquake struck and her cat, Gioia had hid, so she was trapped in the rubble. Although most people did not hold out much hope, Daniela knew that her cat was okay.
The likelihood of finding Gioia diminish with each passing day. It was then that a miracle happened, as rescue workers pulled the cat from the rubble six days after the quake.
Nobody knew how the cat was able to survive and the most amazing part is that she was in fairly good health, although she was dehydrated.
After being checked out by veterinarians and getting the treatment she needed, she was reunited with her owner.
Thanks to the persistence and dedication of rescue workers, Gioia and her human are together again.
