Twenty dogs were rescued by the Australian emergency services after floodwaters submerged the breeding kennel in Sydney on Monday.
A video of the rescue, which has now gone viral on social media, features the rescue workers ferrying the rescued canines on inflatable boats. According to a report, the dogs, which were a mix of Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, were put in animal carriers before being taken to safety.
“As long as all the animals and our staff are all okay, that’s really all we care about and everything else is replaceable,” Sharon, the breeder and trainer operating the kennel, told the news website.
