(EMERGENCY ANIMAL RESCUE) TEXAS — On Sunday, a tornado
struck Van, a town in eastern Texas, killing two people and injuring 43. This
disaster not only resulted in human casualties, but it also destroyed a large
percentage of the land, flattened homes, and led to flooding.
Efforts to recover the tornado victims have been ongoing.
Texas Game Wardens from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, along with
their K-9s are actively searching the Van area for people and pets who may be
stuck under debris or in need of care.
Game Warden John Thorne recently stated:
“It’s very deliberate work in the sense that we’re trying
to clear each and every one of these brush piles. There could be a victim in
here that we wouldn’t be able to detect without the use of one of these dogs.”
Although search-and-rescue dogs are critical in helping
people affected by the tornado, efforts have also been made to rescue animals
who were tornado victims. While some families evacuated the area with their
beloved pets, other pets were separated from their guardians in the midst of
the disaster.
