Two dogs are safe and sound, thanks to a diligent rescue crew, after being stranded in a South Carolina flood.
Responding to an “animal in distress” call, a four-member team from Taylors Fire and Rescue paddled in an inflatable raft against rising floodwaters to a fenced-in yard. By the time they arrived, the water had reached the poor dog’s neck.
Tethered to the boat and using an oar for guidance, a worker waded across the yard in nearly chest-deep water. He set the oar atop a doghouse, pushed debris aside, and carried the pup back to the awaiting raft before returning for his oar.
Later reports indicated that the crew also rescued a second distressed dog.
Stories like this remind us to appreciate the quick-thinking emergency personnel who save both human and non-human lives.
What’s New…
THANK YOU to the wonderful Rescuers — clear-thinking, compassionate Rescuers — you’re the BEST.
A very big thank you!
THESE IDIOTS THAT OWNED THIS POOR OLD DOG SHOULD NEVER SEE THIS DOG AGAIN !! CHAINED TO A DOGHOUSE FACING A FREEZING SCARY SLOW DEATH ! I DONT CARE IF THEY WERE OLD — NO EXCUSES FOR THIS NEGLECT !!!
May God bless these wonderful, brave people.
Wonderful people. Thank you so much.
Heroes, it’s wonderful to hear stories of people who truly care about animals and who will go out of their way to rescue them.
Brilliant!!
so the family flees and leaves the dog(s) behind maybe tied to the dog house, i can’t tell but looked like it. now the family should be tied to a tree and wait for flood waters to come and see if they survive. hoping they don’t. no excuse for humans to do this to any animal, i can’t stress enough how i despise humans
Well d0one to all involved.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the rescuers. Please find and prosecute the dog’s owners. Only cold hearted humans with no respect for life would allow thier dog to fend for itself when it was well known the flooding would take place, They knew the animals would be frightened and suffer.
Please dont let this dog go back to its owner who left it behind.
Thank you to the brave guys who saved him. I hope the other dog
was okay too. How could you leave your dog behind like this.
They need to be banned for life from every owning an animal again.

Takes a special kind of trash to leave an animal behind especially tied up. They should never be allowed to have animals ever again. If you can’t treat them like family, don’t have them. Soit herb trash
Pobrecito, llegaron justo! Gracias!!!
I could never leave my babies behind. I can only imagine how heartbreaking it must be to know you have a moment to get out but can’t get your pets. I would do anything I could to get them to safety also
And this is why many people should not be guardians of animals. At the first sign of trouble they evacuate their human family to safety and leave behind their animals like garbage. Anybody that leaves their dogs teethed and without a way to escape the raising flood waters should be prosecuted criminally and be banned from ever owning another animal. There is no excuse in the world valid enough to justify leaving helpless pets behind to fend for themselves. Thank God there are still decent people left on the planet that think rescuing animals in times of emergencies is a priority.
Agree.
Feel the animals’ pain
Thank you to all that rescued those precious puppies. Those things that abandoned them, your worthless lives will end someday and you will face what’s coming to you, burning forever in hell.
What heros! These people should be treated to a slap up meal for life.
thank you for your compassion and service and your reverence for life!!!!
Wonderful!
Thanku to those who rescued these dogs. Th those who left them behind I hope karma catches up with you. 🐶🐕🐾👩👨🤬😠😡
Many thanks to these animal heroes. And much condemnation to the cruel and heartless non-hero whom left their dog whilst ensuring their tukhes is safe.
Bless this dog and these rescuers. Why would anyone leave a dog like that? I hope they don’t get him back. They clearly don’t deserve him.
God Bless those dear dogs, and the wonderful people who rescued them from drowning.
Hooray for those who will risk life & limb to save the ones who cannot fend for themselves. I have a place in my heart for them, and hope that more like them are there when the need arises.
