10.9.15 - Dogs Save Family from Flood

 

A family in South Carolina was fortunate enough to be the owners of three wonderful pit bulls who helped them get out of a flood before it was too late.

A woman named Prisila Huitron shared this with Pit Bulls and Itty Pitties:

I’ve never been more thankful of having these babies in our lives. We live in Columbia, SC, and Saturday night, around 3 am, they started barking, to the point we thought someone was trying to break in. When my fiancé looked through the window, our front yard was under water.

This gave us a chance to pick a few things up, and when we saw the water coming in the house, we grabbed a backpack, with whatever we could grab, (including 2 big ziplock bags with their food of course) and we got out. My father in law helped us. I got baby Hercules, he grabbed Tug, and my fiancé grabbed Bella… they are our angels.

Even though the water inside was over a foot and we lost a lot (including their beds) they gave us a chance to get up and get out. That’s the true nature of a pit.

Her fiancé, William Neff, also commented:

Hey guys, we are safe and dry. The puppies are well fed and happy. Our house actually fared pretty well and we were able to get our vehicles out of the way before things got worse. We have power and water and the house is drying out nicely. Thanks to these awesome pups we had enough time to get the important things to higher parts of the house and get them and us out safely.

Thanks for the support and well wishes, they are greatly appreciated and we are very touched. There are a lot of people close by who aren’t as lucky as we were and we feel for them. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers and give your loved ones and your pitties an extra hug today. Sincerely, “the fiancé.”
