- 6 years ago
A woman named Sunitha refused to be evacuated from her home during flooding in Kerala, India, without her 25 dogs, AFP reported.
Sally Varma of Humane Society International told AFP that Sunitha “sent back volunteers and rescue officials because they said they could not evacuate her dogs.”
Sunitha, her husband and all of her dogs were eventually rescued and brought to a shelter.
In the video, Sunitha, along with her husband and dogs, can be seen at their home in Thrissur after the floodwaters receded.
Varma started a fundraiser so a kennel could be built at Sunitha's home, AFP reported.
