Floods in Brazil, a man risks his life to save his four dogs

In the tragic nature of the images arriving from Brazil where the south of the country has been battered by floods, as the hours pass, the stories of courage, impossible rescues and great solidarity also linked to the world of animals multiply. And if the story of the mare stuck on a roof has attracted the attention of the world’s media, no less is the gesture of a man who risked his life to save his four dogs.

Miguel, who suffers from a medical condition that requires the use of a colostomy bag, did not hesitate to risk his health and safety to ensure that his “four children”, as he affectionately calls his dogs, were at Safe. Despite the recommendations of the rescue teams and the physical restrictions he faces, his determination led him to challenge the wall of water created by the floods.

With the help of authorities, the man navigated the flooded streets and, one by one, made sure each dog was rescued and brought to safety. The successful rescue culminated in an emotional scene where Miguel and his dogs were greeted with relief and gratitude by the rescue teams. Many comments came from online users who followed this story: “The most beautiful thing I saw that day” and “Thank you for helping him”, are just some of the messages.
