While these videos make you wonder WHO could leave their pets behind and HOW they could do such a thing during such a terrible disaster, it's more important that they were rescued by caring strangers.

The stories vary - some owners were seeking medical attention, some were from shelters that had to be evacuated, others just left their animals behind in a hurry. Regardless, these people all risked their own lives to rescue pets that weren't theirs from the rushing flood waters.

"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~Mahatma Gandhi
