Couple refuse to let go of their pet dogs during flood – risking their own lives

A scene out of Joso, Japan is both breaking and melting hearts everywhere.

The events unfolded during disastrous flash floods that spread in Joso and others parts of eastern Japan. In this scene, we watch as a couple has desperately crawled to their rooftop, but they’re not alone.

They’re grasping their two pet dogs, refusing to let go.

 

The couple clutched onto their pets, refusing to let go and allow them to be swept away by the powerful, terrifying current.

Despite likely exhaustion and fear, the man and woman knew they simply couldn’t leave their dear dogs behind.

Surrounding them is sheer destruction, the violent deep brown waters crashing into their now utterly destroyed home.
