Although Hurricane Milton left destruction and death in its wake through Florida, stories of hope have also come to light, such as that of 104 pets rescued thanks to the tireless work of firefighters.
The rescue team from the Hillsborough County Fire Department in Florida shared emotional images on Facebook of the pets they managed to save from the tragedy, showcasing the positive impact of their efforts amidst the disaster.
An image that moved many shows a rescued dog looking at Captain Dusty Mascaro with gratitude, reflecting the special bond that forms between rescuers and the pets they save.
Along with the images of the rescued pets, the Fire Department shared a beautiful message: “We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve and protect all members of our community, big and small.”
In addition, with the rescue of the 104 pets, they demonstrated that their mission is to ensure that no living being is left to their fate in the midst of a tragedy, such as Hurricane Milton in Florida.
Alongside the beautiful photo of the dog showing gratitude to Captain Dusty Mascaro, the story of Trooper has also gone viral. Trooper was rescued during the mandatory evacuation and was found abandoned and tied to a pole on Interstate 75 in Tampa.
The Humane Society of Leon County announced on Facebook that its new name is for everything that has happened and in honor of those who rescued it.
They also mentioned that the dog is currently being rehabilitated in an animal shelter in Tallahassee, and that after he is healed from his wounds, they will consider putting him up for adoption, not before.
Giovanny Aldama García, owner of the Trooper, was arrested and faces charges of aggravated animal cruelty.
The state prosecutor, Suzy López, filed charges after the defendant admitted to completely abandoning his dog, named "Jumbo," because he had not found anyone to take care of him.
