A man never feels more helpless than in times of natural disaster. But, even then, it’s the power of humanity that sheds light on hope and the feeling that you’re not alone.
Still, in times like those, very few people think of our four-legged friends. Preoccupied with our own tragedies, we rarely recognize how difficult it is for animals to find shelter and escape the harrowing situation.
When a terrible flood hit a local village after days of heavy rain, many dogs ended up stranded in polluted floodwater, in homes, and on roofs, including one large dog family.
Fortunately, a group of kind-hearted people immediately rushed into action!
A Shocking Sight
The water and garbage were literally everywhere! Two days after heavy rain, the village was completely cut off, with no electricity, food, or a way out.
The local rescuers who scanned the area in a rescue boat were deeply heartbroken when they saw animals struggling to stay afloat.
But, what truly shocked them only minutes later was one heartbreaking scene in particular!
An entire doggo family, including a mom and her seven puppies, was stranded on a roof. The dogs literally had nowhere to go, and they were starving.
These furry companions hadn’t eaten in two days, so when the rescuers offered them kibble – they instantly began to wag their tails in gratitude. Within minutes, the food was gone, and the only thing left to do was move this four-legged family to a safe shelter.
The mom, however, was pretty anxious. She couldn’t hide her concern for her little ones and the fact that she couldn’t do anything to protect them.
Fortunately, the kind team devised a plan to help the pups.
The Family Is Safe
One by one, they slowly loaded the puppies and the mama on the rescue boat. To make sure they didn’t lose track of anyone, the rescuers placed the pups in a small crate, where they huddled together. But, that didn’t seem to bring them down!
Quite the contrary – the pups couldn’t have been happier to finally leave the flooded area! They knew the rescuers meant good, and they decided to put all their trust in them.
After finally touching safe ground, the mama relaxed a bit, too! She was reunited with her babies and couldn’t wait to give them warm kisses once again…only now they were in the shelter instead of the flooded house.
Both the mama and her pups were immediately subjected to vet exams. After receiving a clean bill of health, they were placed in a nice, cozy room where they could finally relax and enjoy each other’s company.
From now on, this little family won’t need to worry about anything!
Their only concern will be how to spice up their afternoons with exciting playtime or what delicious snacks to nibble on. After everything they have been through, they surely deserve it!
