Lots of wonderful stories after the devastating hurricane that sat over the Bahamas for hours doing incredible destruction.
There are firemen from British Columbia paying their own way to help search for people who may be trapped. They are taking their search dogs. This team specializes in technical search, using trained dogs and electronic acoustic and seismic equipment to find people who are buried under rubble and wood. Cameras and microphones are also used, allowing two-way communication for survivors to help lead crews to their location.The airlines waived all the luggage overage charges that included batteries and donated tools. They allowed the dogs to sit in the passenger cabin!
Many corporations are helping by sending food, tools and water. Cruise lines that operate in the Caribbean are using their ships to help the Bahamas. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Bahamas Paradise are sending ships to the islands filled with food and supplies, and in some cases are bringing over volunteers as well. They are also evacuating people.
Here is an incredible story about a lady who accommodated 97 abandoned dogs in her home:
An animal shelter manager has shared photos of the nearly 100 rescue dogs she brought into her home to save them from the destruction of Hurricane Dorian.
Chella Phillips, manager of The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau in the Bahamas, shared photos of 97 dogs crowding her home to Facebook on Sunday.
She said the outdoor refuge, where the dogs were normally kept before being paired with adoption organisations in the US, had been boarded up ahead of the storm.
Ms Phillips said all of her dogs – including the less fortunate, sick, and scared – were brought inside, with some placed in crates donated ahead of the crisis.
“Each island has an abundance of homeless dogs, my heart is so broken for the ones without a place to hide... and only God can protect them now,” her post read.
“Coincidently, today is the fourth anniversary since the refuge opened its doors to homeless and abandoned dogs and we have cared for nearly 1000 of them.”
“We are very proud that we managed to give them hope so they could all be happy at last.
