Animals often serve as exceptional role models for affection and commitment. On Monday, heartwarming images emerged from India, showcasing a dog protecting her two puppies from the devastating floods.
Amidst the intensifying water currents, this caring “mother” carried her young ones in her mouth.
These two captivating photographs, captured by photojournalist Sanjay Kanoja for Agence France-Presse, have garnered significant attention due to their emotional impact.
It is worth noting that the images portray the mother in Allahabad relocating her baby to a dry area when the water level rises due to the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
It is important to remember that the floods in the country have resulted in the displacement of 700,000 individuals and caused over 400 fatalities.
According to the authorities, pollution of drinking water sources and poor sanitary conditions cause worries of disease outbreaks, which is why health workers have been dispatched to towns to monitor the situation.
This gesture is in addition to another dog’s that rescued a family from death a few weeks earlier by waking them up in the middle of the night before a landslide demolished their house in the Indian state of Kerala (south), which was affected by floods.
Mohanan P. and his family were resting in their house in the hilly area of Idukki when their dog started barking at 03:00 a.m. (18:30 in Chile).
“We sensed something was amiss, I went to investigate, and we had to evacuate the house,” Mohanan P. informed India’s NDTV. A landslide destroyed his house right after they evacuated.
