Dog rescued from Florence floodwaters had climbed onto kitchen counters to stay safe
LUMBERTON, NC —
A dog rescued from a flooded North Carolina home after Hurricane Florence had climbed onto kitchen counters to escape the rising floodwaters.
PETA volunteers rescued the dog, Max, from the kitchen of a Lumberton home after the storm had moved through. In a tweet, PETA said firefighters in the area contacted the organization after noticing the dog from the outside.
This dog climbed on top of the kitchen counter to escape the ever-rising waters after being left inside his flooded home. Firefighters & PETA’s rescue team waded through waist-deep water to save Max ‼️ #HurricaneFlorence
