The city of Joso, north of Tokyo, Japan, was hit by severe flash flooding after the Kinugawa River burst its banks. Helicopter rescue teams had been rescuing people from rooftops. Two of those rescued was a man who held on tightly to his dog and a woman who was holding on to the puppy. Both refused to let the two dogs go. To me, both are heroes.
Watch the harrowing rescue:
It is heartwarming to see this Japanese couple save their pets, hugging them tightly so that they do not fall off the roof and be swept away by the surging current of the flood. We’re sure glad they’re all okay!
