Images captured by animal rescuers show 'frightened' dogs stranded on roofs following floods that left dozens of people and hundreds of animals dead.
Hundreds of dogs and several cats were saved by animal activists during the recent devastating floods in China, according to Humane Society International .
The flooding was sparked by Typhoon Doksuri, which brought heavy rainfall to parts of the Philippines, Taiwan, China and Vietnam, causing extensive damage to homes, crops, livestock and infrastructure. Dozens of animal shelters packed with dogs and cats were submerged in the floods. Many animals drowned, while others escaped, taking refuge on nearby roofs and trees where they became stranded.
Rescuers from Vshine and CAWA first deployed to the Fangshan district in southwest Beijing from July 29 to 31, HSI spokesperson Wendy Higgins told. They then deployed to Hebei province's Zhuozhou County, which is southwest of Beijing, from August 3 to 6.
