Dog That Survived Gas Chamber Is Adopted

The beagle mix that survived an Alabama dog pound's gas chamber has found a permanent home in New Jersey.

"Daniel" has been placed with a family in Nutley, N.J., Eleventh Hour Rescue told The Star-Ledger of Newark.

The rescue group arranged for the dog to be flown to New Jersey after he emerged with his tail wagging from the gas chamber at the Animal Control facility in Florence, Ala., on Oct. 3, The Associated Press reported.

Volunteers named the dog "Daniel" after the biblical figure who survived the lion's den.

No one is sure why the dog survived.
