Holy crap. A house can stay afloat for that long?
The dog was described as "emaciated, but alive" after it had been adrift since the March 11 disaster.
A helicopter first spotted the dog, but the animal was scared by the propellers, so it hid under the roof. Rescuers were forced to descend onto the roof to try to lure the dog to safety. They even tried to poke a hole in the roof, but the dog still stayed away.
