Save the mutts

A load of 35 shelter dogs were flown from Texas to Seattle to make room in Texas shelters for displaced pets. The rescue transfer helps families find their pets amid the flooding and keeps shelter dogs out of the flood zone.

A dog stranded on a car roof outside a Houston home was also brought to safety after a few rescue attempts.
