Watch: Libyans cheer for rescue dog 'Ivar' who saved dozens after devastating floods

On September 11, two dams collapsed and flooded Libya, with its eastern city Derna taking the worst hit.

The death toll has varied, with government officials and aid agencies giving tallies ranging from about 4,000 to 11,000 dead.

Amid Libya's search for the missing, rescue dogs have played a huge role.

One of these four legged heroes is 'Ivar', a Libyan dog who helped find dozens after the devastating floods.

Libyans were seen cheering for the dog as it barked in joy from inside of a car. Watch the heartwarming clip here:
