In a lucky escape, a dog survived a plane crash that killed three persons and another pooch in the US state of Indiana, authorities have said.
The single-engine small plane went down and caught fire behind a home in a heavily-wooded area of the Midwestern state at about 9:10 pm local time on Saturday, the Indiana State Police said in a statement.
Authorities believe the plane caught fire after it crashed.
