When Disaster Hits, Dogs Come To The Rescue

11 November 2023 love animals Animal news, Home 0

This year the U.S. has experienced devastating natural disasters.

Outbreaks of tornadoes leveled entire neighborhoods.

Flooding trapped people in their homes.

Wildfires burned out of control.

When people go missing during these catastrophes, it’s a race against time to find them alive – or their remains.

That crucial search is often carried out by specially trained dogs.

FEMA has 280 certified detection dogs trained to find people in disasters. Another 80 dogs are trained to search for human remains.

NPR’s Scott Detrow visits a Maryland training facility where dogs, and their handlers, learn skills that could save lives.

Abandoned Dog Cry Nonstop For Days, Looking At Each Car & Hoping Owner Would Come Back To Pick Her

This is Peggy! She was left on the side of the road for nearly three days.

Peggy was dumped like waste in this lonely landscape, with little prospect of survival. Her family, whom she loved and trusted, abandoned her.

For three days, she wailed, staring at each automobile in the hope that the owner would come to take her up. Of course, no one stopped to help the baby.

Monica Popovici, a gentle woman, came to a halt. And which woman, she is a dog lover who even has her own dog shelter.

“I heard her crying, and my heart broke. I had loved her since the first moment I met her. I assured her I loved her and that I would never leave her alone again. She had faith in me. I’m overjoyed that I took her to the vet. This adorable infant is now mine.” Monica stated

Peggy is OK and will be picked up the next day. Monica’s hand was constantly kissed by the sweet little kid. After a few days, she is feeling better and enjoying her time with other dogs.

She now leads a happy life full of friends and a wonderful owner.
