Rescue team saves dog during a flood (Video)

When the waters of the Brazon River in Texas rose to dangerously high levels, thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes. And as they left, flood victims only had time to grab a few of their most prized possessions. It goes without saying that most people would bring their animals with them as they fled to higher ground. But unfortunately, some people seem to lack empathy for even their own animals. And one victim of this cruel mindset was a little dog who was abandoned by her owners as they left the scene.

But this pup’s owners didn’t just leave her behind. They left her chained up so she couldn’t even escape as the water rose higher and higher. The underlying facts as to why the dog’s owners decided to abandon their poor dog are unclear, but what is clear is that she would’ve faced certain death as water started to swallow her house. But just as the worst was about to happen, hope appeared in the form of a news crew. The team was documenting the flood from a boat when they saw the poor dog and knew they couldn’t just let her die there. 

Heartwarming rescue

Without hesitation, two members of the team jumped out of the boat and waded toward the dog. By that time, the water had risen to just below the dog’s nose, and they arrived at the last possible moment to save the lucky pup. The dog was soaking wet, shocked, and dazed by what she had just been through, so the team made sure to take her to a vet so she could get the care she needed. The veterinarian who took care of her stressed that the dog would’ve died had it not been for effort of the news team. Watch the video, after receiving lots of love and care, the lovely dog is happy and energetic again and is now waiting to find a new home.
