Search crews found a black Labrador in one of the floors of the Hotel Saratoga on Sunday. The dog was visibly shaken but in good health.
The Hotel Saratoga, a five-star 96-room hotel in Old Havana, was preparing to reopen after being closed for two years when an apparent gas leak caused a massive explosion on Friday.

The Health Ministry said 84 people had been injured. The dead included four minors, a pregnant woman and a Spanish tourist, whose companion was seriously injured.
Some 24 people remained hospitalized, according to the Health Ministry. Authorities said the cause of the explosion was still under investigation but believed it to have been caused by a gas leak.
