2 remaining puppies rescued from rubble of exploded house in Jordan
Officials say all six puppies that were inside a house that exploded Thursday night in Jordan are now accounted for.
Two adult dogs and four puppies were initially extracted from the home, but it wasn’t until two days later that the Jordan fire and police departments announced the last two puppies were found.
“They were for the most part unscathed with tails wagging!!” the Jordan Police Department said on social media.
According to police, a neighbor reported the sound of barking within the rubble Saturday afternoon, and police and firefighters returned to dig them out.

There was damage to a neighboring home and several vehicles, too, police said.
