In the released video, you can see the moment when one of the officers approaches the frightened dog, who was tied up and visibly agitated by the approaching storm. The officers acted quickly, taking the puppy to a vet where it was evaluated and given a clean bill of health, ensuring it was out of danger.
Hurricane Milton, which threatens to cause destruction in Florida, has catastrophic potential. Authorities have warned of possible flooding, with storm surges expected to reach up to 4.5 meters on the state’s west coast. Although the hurricane weakened after making landfall, winds are still reaching up to 185 km/h, according to the official report.
The forecast is that the hurricane will leave a trail of destruction in its path, making the soldiers’ rescue even more significant given the imminent storm risk.
