Dog rescued after riding out North Carolina floods for nearly a week on living-room couch after Florence
(long title)
The Humane Society of Missouri is sharing a heartwarming video of the rescue of a little Maltese who spent nearly a week floating on a couch alone in her family's dark home after Hurricane Florence.
On Sept. 25, the organization said its Disaster Response team had gotten word from a desperate homeowner that her little white dog by the name of Soshe was stranded in her flooded house in Pender County, North Carolina.
The team tried to find the home twice but floodwaters, which had risen to the tops of homes, made it extremely difficult for staff to locate an address.
On the team's third try to locate the dog on Sept. 21, its boat broke down, forcing staff to paddle to the neighborhood. Luckily, though, the waters had lowered enough that they could find the house.
The two were able to kick down the door to the house and get inside, where they found Soshe. The dog was wet and shivering but appeared OK. Video showed Soshe being hugged and cuddled by a team member and then eating voraciously in a carrier.
The organization, which sent 10 volunteers to the state to help after Florence, said it had rescued dozens of animals during Florence.
