"Florida Highway Patrol troopers rescued a dog tied to a pole in Tampa on Tuesday in the hours leading up to Hurricane Milton making landfall on the region as a "catastrophic" storm.In a heartbreaking video posted to social media, an FHP trooper gets out of his patrol car and walks over to the black and white dog standing in a flooded area with water up to his chest...Wednesday's sad scene, which took place off the interstate just north of Tampa Bay, comes as Milton, now a Category 4 hurricane was expected to make a direct hit near Sarasota in the early hours of Thursday morning."
Video at the link.
I saw that clip yesterday and as the trooper approached the dog was making aggressive signals. Could have been defensive out of fear, but I thought that puts the trooper in a bad position. Has to decide whether to risk injury, call animal control, or shoot the dog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Link Stan, I'm happy to read it turned out well.
