Barbara Garcia was being interviewed by CBS News recounting the moments that the tornado destroyed her home when her dog emerged from the rubble behind her.

The touching moment was filmed in a suburb of Oklahoma City. The dog appeared to be a little bedraggled but otherwise apparently healthy.

More than 90 people are thought to have been killed by the tornado, which flattened neighbourhoods in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore, destroying homes and schools.
